You can’t turn around these days without running into someone talking about software bill of materials (SBOMs). It’s great news that everyone is directing attention to software supply chain security, especially since SBOMs are the foundation of it all.

defines an SBOM as “a nested inventory, a list of ingredients that make up software components.” Security professionals and developers use SBOMs to gain amazing insight into our software like never before.

This example just scratches the surface by showing a simple example of why SBOM drift is an important metric during software development and deployment.
