How to Ensure SBOM, Accuracy, Quality, and Compliance | Keysight
An accurate and well-governed SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) is essential for managing today’s complex product ecosystems, which often include hundreds of devices, applications, and firmware versions built from open source, third-party, and proprietary components. With regulations like the EU Cyber Resilience Act and U.S. FDA cybersecurity guidance mandating SBOM usage, organizations must ensure their SBOM is not only available but also complete, accurate, and continuously maintained. However, many SBOMs fail to reflect shipped products due to gaps in source-based and build-time tools, inconsistent supplier data, and hidden components within compiled binaries. To reduce software supply chain risk and meet compliance requirements, companies need automated, centralized SBOM management that generates SBOMs directly from shipped artifacts, normalizes data across vendors, and continuously monitors for vulnerabilities and license obligations.
