What is an SBOM & Why Should You Care? 🤔💡

Software today isn’t built from scratch - it is assembled from open-source components, third-party libraries, and proprietary code. But do you really know what’s inside the software you use or ship? 🔍💻

That’s where a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) comes in. 📝

An SBOM is like an ingredient list for software, showing all the components that make up an application. This transparency is crucial for:

🔐 Security - Quickly identifying vulnerabilities in software dependencies

✅ Compliance - Meeting regulatory requirements

⚠️ Risk Management - Understanding the supply chain to prevent hidden risks

While having an SBOM is a great start, it still isn’t enough. The real challenge is securing it and ensuring it can be trusted. 🔒🔑
