Abstract

Sonatype's VP of Product Innovation Dr. Stephen Magill will discuss achieving regulatory compliance and security through effective SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) management. Learn which industry segments now require SBOM production and how to maintain compliance with relevant regulations. Discover best practices for retaining SBOMs throughout the software lifecycle, how to monitor them for vulnerabilities, and the importance of applying these same standards to third-party SBOMs. This talk goes beyond SBOM production to answer the critical question "I have an SBOM, now what?"
