What You’ll Learn
A Software Bill of Materials can be used to support the systematic review of known security vulnerabilities in open source components and approval of each component’s license terms to clarify the obligations and restrictions as it applies to the distribution of the analyzed software, thus reducing risk. This course will help you understand what the minimum data elements are for a SBOM and the reasoning behind why those elements are included. It will also provide guidance on where to find tools that will let you generate and validate SBOMs.

What It Prepares You For
Having an accurate view of the software being imported and used in systems has become increasingly important as we see more vulnerabilities emerge in the supply chain. By generating a SBOM, we’re able to help with efficient analysis for security, licensing, and other use cases. This course will give you foundational knowledge about the options and the tools available for generating SBOMs, and will help you understand the benefits of adopting SBOMs and how to use them to improve your ability to respond to cybersecurity needs.

As a compliance officer I saw a bit of another level structure of the whole OSS world.
Sep 2023
This class really opened my eyes to a whole variety of SBOM issues that I'd never thought about. I was concerned about identifying software authors who use pseudonyms or email addresses, and how to trace them. I found a whole world of other issues beyond that. This is really going to help me face new compliance requirements from Executive Order 14028.
