Watch this talk on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-3K74I7t7CQ Securing the Software Supply Chain has become a focus of cybersecurity efforts the world over. One aspect of this is with the generation and verification of a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM). But what is an SBOM and how would you go about setting this up for your cloud native container/applications/pipeline? The Flux team recently published a blog on this very topic and how they’ve gone about implementing these measures. During this session, Dan Luhring, OSS Engineering Manager at Anchore, will dive into SBOMs - what they are, why you need them, some common use cases and how to get your pipeline ready for SBOM generation and verification using the Flux SBOM as an example. Resources Anchore: A comprehensive, continuous security and compliance platform to protect your cloud-native applications. Anchore’s OSS tools featured during this session: - Syft: A CLI tool for generating a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) from container images and file systems - Grype: An easy-to-integrate open source vulnerability scanning tool for container images and file systems. Speaker Bios: Dan Luhring heads up OSS at Anchore, where he leads the software engineering team that develops Syft and Grype. Dan is drawn deeply into the cloud native security space, where he focuses on container workflows and developer experience. Dan believes in making software more secure by making life better for software engineers and security practitioners. Dan is a maintainer of Sigstore’s Cosign project, and he loves partnering with other people to find solutions to daunting challenges.
