SBOM Guide for 2025: Turn Compliance into a Security Asset

Everything you need to know about SBOM concepts, how they work, and how your organization can stay compliant while securing your software supply chain. 

SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) has evolved far beyond a simple list of components. As organizations implement software supply chain security protocols, SBOM functions as a strategic asset that guides risk management, drives compliance, and serves as a security compass to keep up with changes in the SDLC (software development lifecycle).

Why SBOMs Matter in 2025

High-profile supply chain attacks (including Log4j and malicious NPM and PyPI packages) have contributed to $46 billion in annual losses*, projected to increase to $138 billion by 2031*, affecting millions of users and organizations and exposing the fragility of modern software ecosystems.

In response, governments and enterprises worldwide are mandating the use of SBOMs to boost transparency, mitigate vulnerabilities, and enforce secure development practices.

Our new guide offers practical insights to help your organization comply with regulations while transforming your SBOM program into a competitive advantage.
