CISA’s New Guidance Aims to Improve SBOM Implementation

CISA advises software producers to create software bills of materials (SBOMs) following specific steps outlined in new guidance. SBOMs serve as critical inventory lists to enhance risk mitigation across software supply chains. A White House executive order mandates agencies to implement SBOMs when developing or procuring software. CISA has conducted events and published reports on the SBOM-sharing life cycle.
