Demystifying the SBOM’s impact on Secure Software Deployment

When the White House’s cybersecurity executive order from May 2021 was issued, the Software Bill of Materials (aka SBOMs), graduated from being a “nice to have” to a “must-have” when developing and deploying secure software from the cloud.

In a nutshell, SBOMs provides visibility into which components make up a piece of software and detail how it was put together, so it's easy to determine if it contains security and compliance issues.

In this talk, we’ll discuss

• What exactly is an SBOM?

• Securing your Software Supply Chain

• Why SBOM must be a key element of your software development life cycle's (SDLC) security and compliance approach

• The misconceptions that exist around SBOMs

• Insights and best practices on SBOM creation and usage.
