Understanding SBOM: A Cornerstone of Modern Software Security
In the complex and ever-evolving landscape of software development, ensuring the security, transparency, and compliance of software components is paramount.
“
A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is a critical tool that provides a comprehensive inventory of all software components, libraries, and dependencies within an application. Just like a traditional bill of materials in manufacturing, an SBOM lists every part required to build a software product, enabling developers and security teams to understand precisely what is in their software.
Why SBOM Matters
Enhanced Security
SBOMs allow organizations to quickly identify and manage vulnerabilities within their software supply chain. By cataloging every component, including version details and known vulnerabilities, SBOMs enable proactive security management, ensuring that vulnerabilities are addressed before they can be exploited.
Transparency and Trust
With SBOMs, organizations can provide transparency about the components in their software, building trust with customers, stakeholders, and regulators. This transparency is increasingly becoming a requirement in many industries as part of compliance and regulatory standards.
Compliance and Risk Management
SBOMs simplify the process of meeting industry standards and compliance requirements by providing a clear, auditable record of all software components. They also help in assessing and mitigating risks associated with third-party components and dependencies.
Technical Features
SBOM
Generates a comprehensive SBOM with details on OS and App artifacts.
Dependencies
Analyzes all dependencies to ensure all supporting tools are up to date and secure.
License Types
Analyzes the dependencies, and license types to avoid issues such as copyleft license types.
Secrets
Scans secrets in your artifacts that can be exploited like tokens, passwords, etc...
Signed Attestations
Analyzes signed attestations to verify code progent and authenticity.
SBOM Formats
Output your SBOMs in CycloneDX (JSON/XML), text, or SPDX (JSON/XML)
The Carbonetes Advantage
Our platform goes beyond basic SBOM generation, providing a suite of tools that enhance security, streamline compliance, and simplify the management of software components.
Comprehensive Visiblity
Carbonetes offers unparalleled visibility into your software supply chain, automatically generating SBOMs for each repository. Our platform allows you to visualize every component, including transitive dependencies, giving you a complete picture of your software’s composition.
Real-Time Vulnerability Tracking
As new vulnerabilities emerge, it’s essential to identify and address them quickly. Carbonetes continuously monitors your SBOMs, allowing you to pinpoint vulnerabilities in seconds and apply fixes immediately, keeping your software secure.
Effortless Integration
Carbonetes seamlessly integrates with your existing workflows, enabling SBOM generation via API or CLI. Whether you need to generate SBOMs during development or for compliance audits, our platform fits effortlessly into your processes.
Industry-Standard Support
We support industry-standard SBOM formats like SPDX and CycloneDX, ensuring that your SBOMs meet both your internal requirements and those of your customers and regulators.
A Secure Process
Diggity, our own open-source SBOM engine, accesses the information it needs through the Docker REST API, so your code is never exposed. This process ensures that your code is never exposed throughout the scanning process.
Why Choose Carbonetes?
Choosing Carbonetes means you are not just generating SBOMs; you are taking control of your software security and compliance with a platform built for the complexities of today’s digital world.
