Generating Software Bill Of Materials
Recorded March 25, 2021
View Generating Software Bill of Materials, with Kate Stewart, VP, Dependable Embedded Systems, The Linux Foundation.
Having an accurate view of software being imported and used in systems has become increasingly important as we see more vulnerabilities emerge in the supply chain. By generating a Software Bill of Materials (or SBOM) we’re able to help with efficient analysis for security, licensing, and other use cases.
This mentoring session will provide an overview of some of options available for generating SBOMs as well as an overview of some open source tooling to assist with generation and consumption of SBOMs.
The session will begin with an overview by Kate Stewart (45 minutes) and will be followed by Q&A.
