What Is An SBOM (Software Bill Of Materials)?
Techtarget, Wednesday, July 2nd, 2025
An SBOM (software bill of materials) is a detailed inventory of all components and software dependencies involved in the development and delivery of an application.
It has become an increasingly common and critical component of the software development lifecycle and DevSecOps processes, helping organizations that want to strengthen their security posture identify and manage risks.
Modern software applications and services are commonly built with multiple components and dependencies that can come from different sources. They can include open source software projects, licenses, proprietary code, application programming interfaces, programming language frameworks and software libraries.
