The US federal government has proposed the adoption of a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) across the software industry to help organizations detect security vulnerabilities in third-party components. An SBOM is an inventory of the software components in a product's codebase, including third-party dependencies. Creating an SBOM involves taking stock of the dependencies in a product's codebase and can be helpful for identifying vulnerabilities that derive from third-party libraries. However, SBOMs have limitations, such as not being informative enough due to missing context, not being queryable, and not being linkable. To address these limitations, Datadog Software Composition Analysis (SCA) provides valuable insights by surfacing vulnerabilities in open source software dependencies, alongside real-time threat insights, making it easier for organizations to identify, prioritize, and remediate vulnerabilities effectively.
