Securing The Software Supply Chain: Software Bills Of Materials

This seminar provides a high-level overview of Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs). It focuses on how using SBOMs in software development can provide traceability, insight, and security. Any system that consumes or produces software can benefit from using SBOMs, either as fuel or output.

A Software Bill of Materials is an enumeration of a product’s component software and their dependencies. Such a document provides traceable provenance to mitigate both maintenance and security risks. This class identifies the core requirements of SBOMs, and how to implement their use in existing organizations and processes.

Audience

This course is suitable for senior technicians and organization leaders or managers. Participants will gain a high-level perspective as to the advantages and requirements for building and using SBOMs as part of the supply chain or product development.

Prerequisites

Students should have understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

• Identify the three minimum elements of an SBOM.
• Discuss and promote the advantages of an SBOM.
• Build a workflow for developing and consuming SBOMs as part of their own SDLC process.
• Plan for securing their software supply chain using SBOMs as a tool.
