Hey SBOM community, Love to see you back here learning something new. If you’re working with SBOMs, you probably know that generating SBOM is just a first step. What you get after generating SBOM is just a raw SBOM ? And the raw SBOM is incomplete, inaccurate sometime and most importantly not even comply with NTIA minimum element according to this research whitepaper. And that’s exactly where your involvement comes to enrich the SBOM, augument the SBOM, etc to make a better quality SBOM with completeness, accuracy and enriched data. At the end the real power of SBOM lies within itself i.e data. Because at the end these SBOM will be feeded to SBOM platform which perform complete analysis of the SBOM. The more complete and correct the data is, the more it helps you understand and reduce risk in your software supply chain. ...

Hey there 👋 SBOM practitioners, compliance engineers, and open-source watchers! If you’ve been working with SBOMs lately—whether you’re producing them or consuming them—you’ve probably noticed how quickly they’ve gone from “nice to have” to absolutely essential. I hope now your getting comfortable on working with SBOMs and familiar with software supply chain security terminologies. We all are well-known about the wake-up call on SBOMs, First one was SolarWinds attack(and later on log4j attack) and US Executive Order 14028 by Biden Govt. And since then, the communities started stepping into this complex world wired with complex software( in form of dependencies) to secure software supply chain security from software supply chain attacks. Next step towards it taken by big organization like OpenSSF and countries by showing up their interest towards it, which resulted into various SBOM guidelines, SBOM related tools, SBOM compliances, SBOM platforms, SCA tools, etc were born. ...
