| SBOM, log4j, and the Future of Transparency in the Software Supply Chain |
|
|
|
| Thursday, January 27, 2022 11:00AM - 12:00PM PDT // 60 MINUTES, INCLUDING Q&A | A software bill of materials (SBOM), like any other security feature, won’t solve all our problems. But greater transparency in the software supply chain will 1) support more secure software development, 2) enable more informed decisions around software selection and purchase, and 3) allow organizations to respond much more quickly and efficiently respond to new vulnerabilities.
This webinar will review the basics of SBOM, and use the recent log4j vulnerability to understand how SBOM can help—and also understand its limits. We’ll close by offering some perspectives on how SBOM and related transparency efforts will grow and evolve in 2022 and beyond. |
