SBOM Consumer

SBOM Consumer is designed for companies that regularly receive multiple Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) from multiple parties in their supply chain. It simplifies and automates the validation of these SBOMs' quality through Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) and Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) processes, ensuring that all components are accurately cataloged.

SBOM Consumer seamlessly ties this data into existing asset management platforms, providing a holistic view of software assets and enhancing overall supply chain security. With continuous vulnerability monitoring, contextualized threat intelligence, and real-time alerting capabilities, SBOM Consumer keeps you ahead of emerging risks.

Key Features

Automated SBOM Ingestion

Effortlessly ingest SBOMs from various sources, formats, and supply chain partners, including those following industry standards like SPDX and CycloneDX.

SBOM Validation through GRC and TPRM

Ensure all SBOMs are validated against governance, risk, and compliance standards. Automate third-party risk assessments and security posture evaluations to mitigate supply chain risks.

Comprehensive Cataloging

Create a centralized catalog of all SBOMs and tie them to their respective software and device assets, ensuring traceability and transparency across the IT and OT organizations.

Integration with Asset Management Platforms

Seamlessly connect SBOM data with your existing asset management systems, such as CMDBs or software inventory tools, to maintain a real-time overview of all software components and associated risks.

Continuous Vulnerability Monitoring

Monitor vulnerabilities in real time, ensuring your team is alerted to emerging threats related to third-party components and software assets. Receive contextualized threat intelligence to assess the severity and exploitability of each vulnerability.

Contextualized Threat Intelligence

Integrate threat intelligence to provide deeper insights into potential vulnerabilities. By contextualizing vulnerabilities with global threat data, SBOM Consumer helps you prioritize risks based on severity, relevance, and exploit potential.

Real-Time Alerting Capabilities

Immediate alerts for critical vulnerabilities allow security teams to act swiftly. Tailor alerts to specific software components, enabling focused and proactive risk management.

Regulatory Compliance

Stay compliant with regulatory frameworks like NIST and FDA requirements by ensuring that all software components in the supply chain are properly documented, validated, and maintained.

Benefits

Increased Efficiency

Save time and resources by automating the ingestion and validation of SBOMs from your supply chain, reducing the need for manual processes.

Improved Security Posture

Proactively manage vulnerabilities in third-party software components through integration with GRC, TPRM, and contextual threat intelligence, ensuring that risks are identified and mitigated early.

End-to-End Transparency

Gain full visibility into the software components being used within your supply chain, allowing for informed decision-making and improved compliance.

Enhanced Asset Management

Tie SBOM data to existing asset management platforms to maintain a complete, up-to-date catalog of software assets, improving lifecycle management and risk assessment capabilities.

Real-Time Risk Mitigation

Act on emerging threats quickly through continuous vulnerability monitoring, contextualized intelligence, and real-time alerting, reducing the time between threat detection and mitigation.

Frequently asked questions

What is SBOM Consumer?

SBOM Consumer is a platform for organizations that receive SBOMs from software vendors and supply chain partners. It automates ingestion and validation, catalogs every SBOM against your software and device assets, and continuously monitors third party components for new vulnerabilities. The Vendor Management add-on lets you create dedicated accounts for your vendors so they can securely upload SBOMs themselves, and lets you send VEX inquiries that ask a vendor, in a secure and auditable way, to confirm whether a vulnerability affects their product or not.

How is SBOM Consumer different from SBOM Studio?

SBOM Studio serves the producer side: managing SBOMs for software you build. SBOM Consumer serves the consumer side: operationalizing SBOMs for software you buy. Many organizations run both, since most companies build some software and buy a lot more.

What happens after an SBOM is ingested?

SBOM Consumer validates its quality through your GRC and TPRM processes, catalogs all components, ties the SBOM to the corresponding asset in your inventory, and starts continuous vulnerability monitoring with contextualized threat intelligence and real time alerts. You can also use Magic Link: paste a URL to any package in a package manager or any GitHub repository and it analyzes the component and adds it to your catalogue, directly in the product or project of your choice.

Does SBOM Consumer integrate with asset management platforms?

Yes. SBOM Consumer connects SBOM data to existing asset management systems such as CMDBs and software inventory tools, so software component risk shows up where your teams already work.

How does SBOM Consumer alert me to new vulnerabilities?

Monitoring is continuous. When a new vulnerability lands on a component inside any vendor SBOM you hold, you get an alert with context on severity, relevance, and exploit potential, so you can ask the right vendor the right question the same day instead of weeks later.
