Software Bill of Materials: SBOM Studio Get transparency into your softwares reputation, nature and popularity with cybersecurity insights for the entire product lifecycle using SBOMs. ‍ Gartner estimates that 70 to 80 percent of modern software incorporates open source libraries (OSS) or components from third-party upstream suppliers into product design. These pre-made constructs increase productivity and shorten development time—but they also carry risk into the final product. Like any software module, these software ingredients can have vulnerabilities that emerge at any time, making the overall software product less secure over time. Product owners, managers, and security officers have an imperative responsibility to keep track of their software supply chains. Corporations need to leverage technologies to continually improve their secure-by-design processes. Product teams can use SBOMs to identify vulnerabilities early in the process and produce solutions that reduce corporate and customer risk. At every stage of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), Cybeats can extract the characteristics and attributes from software, even without access to source code, to deliver deep insights into the quality and security of software components.

@Velma Knowles :   I love to help organizations drive sustainable growth. Before running my own consulting business, I worked for two decades inside small to large fortune 500 organizations, nationally and internationally.  Ever since I can remember, my career has been focused on creating a member-first mindset.  From developing creative strategies for member recruitment to building engaging member experiences, to developing retention triggers that get members to stay, I enjoy designing successful membership plans! I remember how excited and scared, all at the same time, I was when I was asked to lead a 90k member deficit turnaround. Within 6 weeks, I worked with a team to create short-term quick wins and long-term strategies that exceeded the 90K member deficit, with an additional gain of 10 K members!  Soon after, I pooled the resources across the U.S. and led one of the largest membership growth turnarounds in the history of the organization. Today, I train member organization leaders to achieve the same kind of sustainable growth in their own markets.  My clients report that I help them break down organizational silos, identify membership quick wins, create engaging member experiences, clarify value-driven differentiation, and align the board, leaders, and boots on the ground.    Social media:  http://www.linkedin.com/in/velmaknowles/
