Best Zero Day Ever! You shall possess the power of SBOM!

By Furkan Türkal

Elevator Pitch

Are you aware of your dependencies in container images? How well do you know those dependencies? Do you want to get alerts for zero-day vulnerability compromises? Do you want to scan your docker images for vulnerabilities continuously? Cool! Software Bill of Materials is the right solution.

Description

A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) publishes data about a software component. The data within allows any supply chain link to locate a specific component in “space” and time to determine where a particular component was created and when. By generating a Software Bill of Materials from container images and filesystems, you get:

  • ability to scan your dependencies for vulnerability detection
  • faster estimating impact area in your company for zero-day CVEs
  • evidence of security impact that violates the security policies

Notes

We (@developer-guy) are mostly working and researching on secure software supply chain models nowadays. We are also active contributors of project sigstore and maintaining “awesomeSBOM` organization. In the final demonstration section, we can also use “anchore”’s projects.
