A multinational corporation is implementing a new software supply chain risk management strategy. Which of the following approaches would BEST help the security team verify the components and dependencies in third-party software to identify potential vulnerabilities?
Software Bill of Materials
Third-party assessment
Silicon root of trust
Service Level Requirements
The correct answer is Software Bill of Materials (SBOM). An SBOM is a formal, machine-readable inventory of software components and dependencies used in building software. It serves as a key tool in software supply chain security by providing transparency into what components are in the software you're consuming or producing. With an SBOM, organizations can quickly identify if they're using components with known vulnerabilities, track license compliance, and make more informed risk decisions about the software they're using.
Third-party assessment is important but focuses more broadly on evaluating suppliers rather than specifically identifying components within software. Service Level Requirements primarily address performance expectations rather than security component identification. Silicon root of trust is a hardware-based security approach for establishing trusted execution environments and doesn't directly address software component identification.
