Making Sense of SBOMs...

SBOMs have been front and center in the national cybersecurity dialogue, particularly in the US, EU, and among key industries where safety and security are priorities. And while SBOMs are not new and have become a best practice those software factories within several industries, we should all expect regulations to become increasingly directive. We’ve seen this with regulatory guidance to self-attest and verify prior to shipping and deploying software. And emerging strategies forecast new levels of accountability and expanded liability for any negative consequences.  

 

So, all this raises the question- what are our SBOM obligations, what is our SBOM process, and how can we demonstrate compliance to mitigate our own risks associated with software?  

 

In this session we’ll discuss and demo an SBOM, and key factors in managing these artifacts, including: 

- How to generate both Source and Binary SBOMs 
- What critical data to look for in your SBOMs 
- How to automate SBOM creation? 
- How to manage your SBOMs- store, add, change, etc? 
- How do you share and communicate your SBOMs?

You’ve Created an SBOM- Now What?

What You Need to Know About SBOMs and Your Software.
 
Emerging regulations and increasing reliance on 3rd party and open-source software are driving the need for SBOMs (Software Bills of Materials). The September memo from the U. S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and the EU’s proposed Cyber Resilience Act, continue to influence the future of software release and acceptance. GrammaTech presents a brief history of SBOMs, and the challenges, barriers, and requirements shaping this artifact impacting software component inventory, security & risk management, and incident response.

The Fed Wants Your SBOM!

As software producers and publishers become increasingly accountable for the safety and security of their software, there’s an increasing focus on protecting their software applications from the inside out. This begins in the earliest stages of the software development life cycle (SDLC) as security shifts left and continue through production and release.

This video presents a four-step process for SDLC security that can be achieved with minimal friction. Program planning that covers how the application will be used, what sensitive data will be processed, and mapping application interdependencies, code components, and libraries. Use SAST (static application security testing) to build security into the SDLC at the code layer. Apply SCA (software composition analysis) to analyze third-party and open-source software components in binaries for N-day or Zero-day vulnerabilities, and improper versioning and licensing. Create an SBOM (software bill of materials) that identifies the use of open-source components. This should be done in both the custom code as well any third-party code in the software. Run a final vulnerability analysis to check for any vulnerabilities that may be hiding in open-source components or the application functions, and remediate them, to ensure that the software being released into production does not contain hidden exploitable vulnerabilities.

· Source integrity through SAST
· Binary integrity through SCA
· Component risk visibility through an SBOM
· Release assessment through vulnerability analysis

A Four-Step Process for SDLC Security

One of the attributes of strong development teams is that they are always on the lookout for improvements in their tools and processes. Static application security testing (SAST) is a critical capability, especially for code that is safety and security critical. This presentation will provide 10 easy rules that you can use to evaluate if there is room for improvement in how you use SAST in your current DevSecOps process.

Advice from the Trenches: 10 Easy Ways To Improve Your SAST ROI

Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools are powerful tools, they provide feedback on the quality of the software that developers are writing. Good SAST tools provide a lot of information in their feedback. From a score, which helps to understand how dangerous a warning is, to a filename and line-number, to a path through the source code to help in remediation.
 
Managing all this power requires a dedicated approach, especially when introducing a SAST solution into a running development process. Not all warnings are worth fixing, sometimes a tool can be too pedantic, or a there are other controls that prevent a warning from requiring source code modification. A static analysis warning is not always directly an error like a compiler error, or a runtime crash.
 
This presentation, part of GrammaTech’s SAST Practitioner series, will look into SAST tool output and will outline an convenient way to use the output of SAST tools to improve software quality early in the development process without overloading developers with too much information and allowing them to focus on the work-at-hand.

GrammaTech CodeSonar 6.2 Exclusive Release Announcement:

Your software supply chain is increasingly coming under attack - straining your existing cybersecurity measures to detect attacks. Can you exclusively rely on this reactive technology, such as antivirus, firewalls, etc., to keep up with the threats and breaches? We all intuitively know that the software deployed to the employee base is vulnerable and susceptible to attack, but until now there hasn’t been a way to proactively prevent these threats. Jim Routh, a former CISO and CSO at MassMutual, Aetna and CVSHealth, will discuss a risk-based management approach to proactively reduce this threat in your organization.

Software supply chain exploits are exploding–How to proactively prevent threats

Research highlights hidden vulnerabilities in commonly used commercial off-the-shelf software applications

Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software includes prevalent use of third-party and open-source components creating a software supply chain security blind spot. The findings in a recent Osterman Research report present a serious weakness in the software supply chain of many widely used COTS software applications. This webinar will share results of the research report and discuss how organizations can take a more proactive approach to ensuring a stronger enterprise-wide cybersecurity posture.

In this webinar, you will learn:
• Why vulnerabilities in COTS software applications are a cybersecurity threat
•	100% of all analyzed applications with open-source components in five common software categories (web browsers, email, file sharing, online meetings and messaging) contained vulnerable open-source components 
•	Applications in the meeting and email client categories were the most vulnerable
•	Critical vulnerabilities (CVSS 10.0) were found in 85% of these applications
•	New ways of analyzing COTS software applications to better reduce your attack surface and potential for compromise

Exposing Software Supply Chain Security Blind Spots

Software Supply Chain Security – Ignorance Is No Longer Bliss

Tuesday, June 8 @ 10am ET

It is clear that in the next few years, we will start to see a range of new autonomous and eVTOL flying craft, both commercial and military, supporting applications such as passenger transport, package delivery and infrastructure inspection. The tight space, cost and power constraints place significant challenges on system architects to create platforms which are safe, secure and certifiable. These mission-critical systems must work deterministically as intended all the time. This webinar, supported by AFuzion, GrammaTech and Lynx Software Technologies, will focus on delivering that determinism for the development process, the software being deployed and how that software executes. 
 
System architects will learn about  
- Critical aspects for software determinism; Ensuring software performs as intended while meeting adherence to software standards, with emphasis on cyber security and static code analysis 
- Determinism of software execution; Reviewing time/space partitioning techniques to avoid multicore processor interference 
- Best practices for a deterministic development process; Meeting certification standards for Cyber and Software Engineering optimally with evidence

Failure is Not an Option: Best Practices in Mission-Critical System Development

The software development industry is in the midst of a shift to integrating security into the software development process - this is often referred to as DevSecOps, the combination of Development, Security and Operations.

DevSecOps – Detecting 0-day and N-day Vulnerabilities, Everyday.

Diving Into DevOps in 2021

Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is one of the most important software best practices to put in place. SAST, done well, helps software engineers remove defects from their code that they never thought of existed, or simply overlooked.
 
The reason for this is simple: good SAST tools calculate through all available execution paths of a piece of software in a technique called abstract execution. This, of course, takes time to do well. And this is one of the tasks that SAST users struggle with when introducing SAST into a running project, especially when introducing it into a large project: How to get results to the software developer quickly.

This presentation, part of GrammaTech’s SAST Practitioner series, will look into various different ways to perform software builds, with SAST enabled and how to speed up delivery of results to the software engineers.
