Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is a list or inventory of software dependencies and components that comprise an application. It may be similar to a bill of materials for a physical product, which lists all the parts and materials used to manufacture the product.
An SBOM may be used for a variety of purposes, including:
Identifying and remediating security vulnerabilities in software products
Complying with regulations that require organizations to disclose the components of their software products
Improving the software development process by making it easier to track dependencies and manage updates
Many organizations use SBOMs to improve the security of applications or software products. You may generate SBOMs for all your software products and use them to identify and remediate vulnerabilities. You may also share your SBOMs with your customers so they can be aware of the components used in your applications.
