Excerpt: “Software bills of materials (SBOMs) — a detailed list of components, modules, and libraries used to build products — are being endorsed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and US regulators as a way to drive down supply chain cybersecurity risks for consumers. But Google’s Open Source Security Team points out in a blog post today that SBOM use alone isn’t an effective tool for assessing exposure. Rather, the documentation should be compared with a database of known vulnerabilities to identify any known software flaws.”
