#SoftwareCompositionAnalysis & #SBOM generation in Bytesafe provide easy ways to identify software assets and track #opensource risk.

But what about distribution of the SBOM after it’s been created? Sharing is caring with #RKVST SBOM Hub.

Thanks automatic algorithm for being so contrite. I’d be happier if someone human had looked into my account and sent something even vaguely context-aware. Pray tell me, what was I recently trying to buy, and how did you work out that it’s so out of character for me?

@thedavidbrumley @joshbressers And also: is this “major” bug major to me? Which of these things can actually be exploited? Updating everything all of the time is impossible so confidently and currently prioritising the real problems is a key benefit we need to be aiming for.

[Jon Geater @jongeater]

@joshbressers Which is good, because we’ll never have all of these things done in every case. That’s why overall supply chain transparency is so important: know what was done, what that actually proves, and what that means in your specific risk context. “Trust” is extremely subjective… (2/2)

[Jon Geater @jongeater]

@joshbressers I’m not sure ‘hierarchy’ or strict set of steps quite captures it. All of these things are important in different ways, and the opportunity to do them is more present at various lifecycle stages, but it doesn’t mean you cannot get value from step C if step B was missed (1/2)

Now: the belief that every improvement we make to the underlying security and trust of digital infrastructure opens up many opportunities for life to work better, faster, safer, greener.

To everyone writing about adverts, microtargeting, the law, Turkey, racists, Jo Cox today, never forget this graph. It's absolutely key. To everyone who says "Does advertising work?" Yes. Yes, it does.
