Summary

Snyk is helping organizations implement the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for software management and security, as recommended by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). The METI has developed a guide to implementing SBOMs to secure software and services, following incidents where attacks on the software supply chain caused significant damage. Snyk provides tools to create and scan SBOMs for vulnerabilities, supporting the three phases of SBOM implementation: environment and system development, creation and sharing, and operation and management. By automating SBOM output through CI/CD pipelines or SCMs like GitHub, Snyk helps ensure that organizations always have the latest information. The company also offers support services in Japanese to help organizations comply with METI's requirements.
