Webinar: SBOM Visualization – An Alternative Approach to Reviewing SBOMs

By automation, legal, licensing, News, Webinar

When we think about Software Build of Materials, we are looking at what might be a multi-dimensional space consisting of hierarchy, linking, modification, export restrictions, security vulnerabilities, distribution type, versions, etc. Care must be taken when setting up the SBOMs to both list the components used and to show how they are incorporated into your products. This webinar discusses how a visualization of such meta-information was implemented to display the relationships and potential risks in a quick and in easy-to-understand way. It was part of a research project funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (BMWi) and with the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences and Bitsea.

OpenChain Webinar: AboutCode and Beyond – End-to-End SCA

By automation, community, legal, licensing, News, security, Webinar

This OpenChain Webinar digs into open source tooling with open data for open source compliance.

Full Overview From The Presenters

Ensuring software license and security compliance can be difficult. Managing open source components – especially their licensing, provenance, and vulnerability risk – is a critical part of Software Composition Analysis (SCA), which is now a prerequisite for modern organizations to comply with mandated SBOMs and other regulations.

Expensive, proprietary SCA solutions rely on proprietary data that can be outdated or just wrong. To make using open source easier for everyone, we need FOSS tools and open data for FOSS SCA. Philippe Ombredanne will explain how using 100% open source software and open data, the AboutCode stack offers a new approach for the practical management of open source software for licensing and vulnerability risks for organizations of all sizes.

Philippe will share how modular open source projects like ScanCode, VulnerableCode, and DejaCode fit together to identify components and their license, provenance, and known vulnerabilities, and aggregate this and SBOM data across products, teams, and organizations to address security, legal, and regulatory requirements for software license and security compliance in an integrated solution.

Philippe will also discuss exciting updates on new open source projects for better software supply chain integrity and security like CRAVEX, which delivers modern open source tools for developers to manage, triage, rate, review, and determine exploitability of package vulnerabilities in a package-centric world.

More Details

“The proposal for a regulation on cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements, known as the Cyber Resilience Act, bolsters cybersecurity rules to ensure more secure hardware and software products. Hardware and software products are increasingly subject to successful cyberattacks, leading to an estimated global annual cost of cybercrime of €5.5 trillion by 2021.”
