What Is An SBOM And Why Is It Important?

The way companies build software solutions has dramatically changed in the past few years. Now more companies use microservices architecture, as it provides more efficiency, resiliency, and agility, to develop and release apps quickly and more frequently.
This approach has enabled developers to utilize more third-party containers and resources to develop efficiently working applications. It also means that less code of a software tool is managed and owned by an organization directly.
Therefore, getting full transparency into different parts of an application has become difficult, which introduces cybersecurity risk. That's where an SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) comes into place.
