Frequently Asked Questions
What is SBOM management?
SBOM management is the process of generating, maintaining, and analyzing a comprehensive list of components in a software application. Effective SBOM management ensures organizations gain visibility into open source dependencies, identify vulnerabilities, and maintain software supply chain integrity throughout the development lifecycle.
What are the key components of an SBOM?
An SBOM includes elements like supplier name, component name, version, dependencies, SBOM author, and a timestamp. These elements provide a comprehensive inventory of a software's structure. SBOM Manager follows the SPDX and CycloneDX standards to ensure interoperability, consistency, and trust in how SBOMs are shared.
How does SBOM management improve the software supply chain?
Strong SBOM management increases software supply chain security by providing a blueprint for organizations to identify vulnerabilities, track dependencies, and ensure compliance with security standards. This visibility empowers teams to proactively address risks, such as outdated libraries or malicious code, before they can be exploited. Furthermore, SBOM management promotes accountability and builds trust among developers, vendors, and customers. When paired with SBOM automation, organizations can not only strengthen their defenses but also drive innovation through informed decision-making and resilient practices.
Sonatype SBOM Manager provides organizations the visibility, compliance, and risk mitigation necessary to build and deliver software confidently, without compromising security or compliance efforts. With SBOM Manager, you can:
- Share SBOMs at scale with automated VEX information to keep everything up-to-date.
- Audit third-party security and ensure compliance with organizational policies.
- Ensure secure, accurate, and consistent software distribution.
- Bridge the gap between development, security, and operations with real-time data.
- Seamlessly embed SBOM generation into development pipelines.
- Quickly locate impacted components in breach situations.
How can SBOM management help with compliance?
SBOM management tools simplify compliance by automating SBOM generation, formatting, and distribution with SBOM standards like SPDX and CycloneDX. By managing SBOM transparency and documentation, organizations can ensure applications are compliant with SBOM government requirements like the Executive Order 14028 in the U.S., industry standards such as PCI DSS 4.0, and emerging EU regulations like NIS.
How can SBOM management software integrate with existing development workflows?
Sonatype SBOM Manager integrates seamlessly with solutions like Sonatype Lifecycle and Nexus Repository, and allows for DevOps pipeline integration using APIs. This ensures streamlined SBOM creation and management within your workflows. Additionally, SBOM Manager offers customizable reporting and tracking options to fit your specific development processes.
Can SBOM management tools automate the tracking of software dependencies?
Yes, SBOM management software solutions like Sonatype SBOM Manager can automate the tracking of software dependencies. They integrate into your development pipeline using APIs to continuously identify, inventory, and update all components, including direct and transitive dependencies, ensuring real-time visibility and reducing the risk of overlooked vulnerabilities or outdated components.
How does SBOM management support open source risk assessments?
SBOM management provides a detailed inventory of all software components, including open source libraries so that organizations can identify known vulnerabilities, license risks, and outdated components. This visibility allows for proactive risk mitigation and improved security posture throughout the software supply chain. Sonatype SBOM Manager streamlines this process with powerful SBOM automation for ingestion, analysis, and policy enforcement at scale.
