    As others have already commented:

    The US government has added SBOMs to a proposed rule to update the Federal Acquisition Regulation. So if you want to sell to the US Government you'll have to provide SBOMs: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/10/03/2023-21...

    Lots of large companies require SBOMs from their supplier.

    In the EU we will get the Cyber Resilience Act which will make them mandatory as well in certain cases: https://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-12536-2023-...

    And yes, there's bascially two technical standards to provide them: SPDX and CycloneDX: https://cyclonedx.org/

  • Who in your organization is responsible for deciding and implementing AppSec tools? And any recommendations for a reliable alternative for Snyk tools? Thanks!

    Usually there is a requirement through a risk in the risk register, new project etc. appsec engineers perform an analysis of what is available in the market paid and/or open source and match it against the list of requirements and come up with an proposal to be signed off by relevant stakeholders. Usually (there may be exceptions) security engineers take care of the implementation. Which snyk product are talking about? SCA? If so have a look in https://cyclonedx.org/ open source or jfrog (paid) but it will depend much on your current processes mainly around CI/CD tools

  • Go, SBOM and DependencyTrack
    2 projects | /r/golang | 17 Jan 2023
    The recent govulncheck effort made me think of the possibility of having the go tool create an SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) in a standard format like CycloneDX that could be consumed by existing tools like DependencyTrack. Somewhat similar to the recent docker sbom feature.

    Alternative it would be nice, if there is way to get an SBOM (Software Bill of Materials). Microsoft created an Open Source Tool to get an SBOM for many programming languages, but pascal is not one of this. With a SBOM file, it should be possible to run it against a tool like CycloneDX.
