Rapidly rising costs from high-profile software supply chain attacks, combined with increased regulatory pressure has caused SBOM adoption to surge across the public and private sector. However, at its core, the SBOM is simply a list of ingredients. SBOMs and traditional vendor risk assessment methods are not enough to flag threats lurking in third-party commercial software like malware, tampering, and suspicious behaviors.
The Spectra Assure™ SAFE Report is meant to demonstrate what secure, trusted software should be. It goes beyond a simple list of ingredients to include the SBOM, along with a comprehensive software security risk assessment to help security and risk professionals to manage third-party software security risk on their own terms.
In this white paper we cover:
- How the SBOM and legacy vendor risk assessment methods fail to fully capture threats and risk in third-party software
- An introduction to the Spectra Assure SAFE Report and how it combines the SBOM with a full software risk assessment
- The benefits of adopting SAFE to build transparency and trust in the software you buy for your organization
