In 2021, the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) gained critical importance within the DevSecOps community due to its role in identifying security and compliance issues in software supply chains, propelled by events such as the SolarWinds hack and the White House cybersecurity executive order. SBOMs provide a detailed inventory of software components, offering transparency that helps mitigate risks of supply chain attacks, especially in regulated industries like finance and healthcare. Although misconceptions exist, such as fears of exposing source code or intellectual property, SBOMs only provide metadata about software components, enhancing security without revealing proprietary details. Tools like the JFrog DevOps Platform facilitate the creation and management of SBOMs by providing granular data on software dependencies, security, and compliance, helping organizations reduce legal liabilities and protect their reputation. As SBOMs become a regulatory requirement for selling software to the U.S. government and other entities, they are increasingly recognized as a best practice for ensuring software security and compliance.
