What Is an SBOM#

A Software Bill of Materials is a machine-readable inventory of every component in a software artifact. It lists packages, libraries, versions, licenses, and dependency relationships. An SBOM answers the question: what exactly is inside this container image, binary, or repository?

When a new CVE drops, organizations without SBOMs scramble to determine which systems are affected. Organizations with SBOMs query a database and have the answer in seconds.
