SBOMs: Essential for Embedded Systems

Explore the critical importance of Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) in embedded systems, particularly for safety-critical applications like medical devices and energy infrastructure. Gain insights into the emerging regulatory landscape and learn how SBOMs are becoming a standard expectation for improving cybersecurity. Discover examples of open-source projects such as Zephyr and Yocto that are already generating SBOMs for embedded systems. Understand how SBOMs contribute to better risk management and vulnerability analysis, and why regulatory authorities are increasingly requiring them as a condition for engagement. This 40-minute talk by Kate Stewart from The Linux Foundation provides a comprehensive overview of SBOMs in the context of embedded systems and their role in enhancing safety and security in critical applications.
