WBSRocks: Business Growth with Enterprise Software and Digital Transformation WBSP682: Grow Your Business by Learning Why Understanding Software BOMs is Critical w/ Matt Van Itallie
The CrowdStrike incident has shed light on the hidden risks within software supply chains, prompting companies to reevaluate their security posture and the role of software bills of materials (SBOMs). While some may view this as an isolated event, the reality is that vulnerabilities within supply chains are often deeper and more complex than they initially appear—especially as AI-driven advancements introduce even greater dependencies and potential attack surfaces. Despite this growing risk, many buyers still overlook SBOMs when selecting software solutions, failing to recognize their critical importance for transparency, security, and regulatory compliance. As software ecosystems become increasingly intricate, organizations must prioritize SBOMs to mitigate risks, ensure accountability, and safeguard their digital infrastructure against evolving threats.
In this episode, Sam Gupta engages in a LinkedIn live session with Matt Van Itallie, Founder and CEO of Sema to provide insights into why understanding software BOMs is critical and how that can help with risk management.
