Demystifying SBOM: Significance and Applications

Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is a list of software components, their metadata, and dependencies used in creating a (software) product. It helps with supply chain risk management, enabling identification of vulnerabilities and selection of reliable suppliers. An SBOM also ensures compliance with regulations like Executive Order 14028 (USA) and the upcoming Cyber Resilience Act (EU). This presentation covers SBOM use-cases, their real-life applications, tools for creating an SBOM, limitations, and Festo's current workflow.
