Summary

The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, has been crucial in strengthening India's cybersecurity infrastructure since its establishment in 2004. To further this goal, CERT-In released guidelines in October 2024 mandating the integration of Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) practices for organizations involved in software development for regulated entities. These guidelines aim to enhance software security by ensuring that SBOMs provide detailed information about software components, including their names, versions, dependencies, and vulnerabilities. The JFrog Platform, with its Artifactory and Xray tools, offers a comprehensive solution for automating SBOM generation, managing software artifacts, and ensuring compliance with CERT-In's requirements. JFrog Artifactory centralizes artifact management and automates SBOM creation, while JFrog Xray focuses on vulnerability identification, license compliance, and maintaining secure supply chains, thus enabling organizations to maintain compliance with the latest cybersecurity standards.
