"CISA Releases Hardware Bill of Materials Framework (HBOM) for Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM)"
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has released the new Hardware Bill of Materials Framework (HBOM) for Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) product from the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) SCRM Task Force. The HBOM Framework provides a uniform and repeatable method for vendors and purchasers to communicate about hardware components, facilitating effective risk assessment and mitigation throughout the supply chain. Mona Harrington, the CISA National Risk Management Center Assistant Director and ICT SCRM Task Force Co-Chair, noted that with standardized naming, comprehensive information, and clear guidance, organizations can protect against economic and security risks, thus enhancing their overall resilience. By improving transparency and traceability through HBOM, stakeholders can determine and mitigate potential supply chain risks, ensuring that the digital landscape stays robust and secure against emerging threats and challenges. This article continues to discuss the key components of the HBOM Framework.
