Diana Initiative 2022
Las Vegas, NV

In this presentation, we demonstrate a proof of concept illustrating how the accuracy and efficacy of the software bills of material generated from source code, build-time and run-time can assist an organization to systematically reduce the open source software security risk. First we walk you through the existing open source tools that we examined for SBOM generation, enumerate the challenges we faced employing them to generate SBOM. Then, we outline the use cases of SBOM. This includes how security teams can take initiatives based on the information extracted from SBOM to run a company-wide program for software life cycle management. We use a purple teaming approach to prioritize vulnerabilities based on information obtained from SBOM. This talk is an enabler for everyone who wants to improve their overall open source software security at scale.
