RSAC Tech Talk - SBOM by Allan Friedman
RSA Conference 2024 · Tech Talk
Allan Friedman's talk at RSAC 2024 delivered a compelling and often humorous call to action for the widespread adoption of the **Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)**. Friedman, representing CISA, framed the current state of software transparency as "bananas"—an unacceptable reality where organizations often have less insight into the components of their critical infrastructure software than they do into the ingredients of a snack cake. The core message is that SBOM is a fundamental concept, now mature enough for immediate implementation across all sectors, serving as a critical enabler for enhanced software supply chain security.
