The Hikvision SBOMs White Paper discusses how organizations that enable a Zero Trust framework embedded with SBOMs makes technology safer throughout each segment of the supply chain lifecycle. Software supply chains host a large network of retailers, distributors, and manufacturers, leaving them vulnerable to cyber threats. Supply chain threats can take many forms and they happen so often that we need ways to respond to them more quickly and, even more importantly, prevent the attack from occurring. Zero Trust, which was developed to prevent data breaches by eliminating the concept of trust from an organization’s network, is especially important for automatic trust. To achieve a Zero Trust security posture, organizations are implementing SBOMs that enable transparency into their software components and providers. When deployed and managed properly, SBOMs can provide a 360-degree view of an organization’s risk exposure to software supply chain threats and vulnerabilities.
