About this talk

The great tool in any risk professional’s tool belt will always be an accurate and up-to-date asset inventory. SBOMs (software bill of materials) hold significant promise as a means of providing this real-time inventory — but there are a number of potential roadblocks that can prevent organizations from realizing this potential. Join FOSSA Senior Product Manager Cortez Frazier Jr. in this webinar to learn strategies for successfully leveraging first- and third-party SBOMs in your security program — as well as common mistakes organizations make that prevent them from doing so. We’ll discuss: -Processes and workflows for generating SBOMs: When in the SDLC should you generate SBOMs, what information should you include, and how often should they be updated? -Strategies for getting SBOMs from third-party suppliers: What you should require suppliers to include in their SBOMs, and how should they be transmitted? -How to integrate SBOM security insights into your security program: How do you consolidate data from first- and third-party SBOMs so you can effectively use it, and what are ideal workflows for security and engineering teams to remediate issues that SBOMs surface?
