Introduction to SBOMs - What is it and do I need one? - Cloudsmith's Unpacked Conference 2023

Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) are new and exciting, but what do they actually do and do you REALLY need one? If you read any security news lately, it seems like everyone is talking about how an SBOM can solve whatever problem they have, and they are years into their SBOM journey. But many of us don’t even know what they are.

The reality is nobody actually has SBOMs figured out, or even know what to do with them. SBOMs are still very new and come with as many benefits as challenges. In this session we will look at what an SBOM is. Did you know there are different data formats and even different types of SBOMs? We will cover what we can do with them, and some of the coming tools and ideas around SBOMs. The future is already here – it’s just not very evenly distributed.
