The Challenge
Generating SBOMs is easy, but managing and keeping them up-to-date is difficult. The typical enterprise application has hundreds of dependencies, and each dependency has further dependencies. This produces a massive amount of SBOM data, all of which needs to be stored for legal and compliance reasons. Enterprises also need a reliable, efficient way to connect SBOMs to specific builds, in case of a later security or compliance issue.
The Chainloop Solution
Chainloop provides a secure, scalable, and efficient platform to manage SBOMs. It integrates with popular CI/CD systems and tooling to directly record SBOMs during the software build and release process. It digitally signs and stores this data in a centralized repository, where it can be searched, audited, and verified.
SBOMs and builds are now connected in a traceable graph, enabling enterprises to visualize dependencies, vulnerabilities, and license compliance across products, releases and individual components.
