"NSA and ESF Partners Release Recommended Practices for Software Bill of Materials Consumption"
The National Security Agency (NSA), the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and industry partners have published "Securing the Software Supply Chain: Recommended Practices for Software Bill of Materials Consumption." This Cybersecurity Technical Report (CTR) aims to help software developers, suppliers, and customer stakeholders ensure the integrity and security of software through contractual agreements, software updates, notifications, and vulnerability mitigations. The report includes information on recommended practices that can be used to describe, assess, and measure security practices throughout the software lifecycle. It builds on the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) paper "Enhancing the Security of the Software Supply Chain through Secure Software Development Practices." This article continues to discuss the CTR on recommended practices for Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) consumption.
