Presentation:
Making SBOM Real: Lessons from Scaling Software Transparency Across Product, Compliance, and Customer Trust
w/ Aditi Sharma

SBOMs are often discussed as a compliance requirement or a technical artifact, but making them useful at scale is much more complex. In this session, Aditi Sharma shares lessons from leading cross-functional efforts to operationalize software transparency across product security, compliance, and customer-facing trust initiatives. The talk will explore common challenges in dependency visibility, stakeholder alignment, customer expectations, and program execution, along with practical approaches for building scalable processes that support both internal teams and external trust needs.
