Transparency in Action: A Candid Discussion on the "Good" and the "Evil" of SBOMs

Did you miss Larry Pesce's presentation at RSAC 2024? Don't worry, we've got good news for you! We're excited to announce a follow-up webinar on June 20, 2024, where Larry will dive even deeper into the crucial topic of Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) and their impact on cybersecurity.

Recap of Larry Pesce's RSAC 2024 Talk

At RSAC 2024, Larry Pesce, Director of Research & Analysis at Finite State, delivered a thought-provoking talk on the dual nature of SBOMs. He discussed how SBOMs are essential for cybersecurity transparency but also highlighted potential risks if they are not properly managed.

Key Points from Larry's Talk:

1. The Dual Role of SBOMs: Larry emphasized that while SBOMs are critical for identifying and managing vulnerabilities, they can also be exploited by attackers if left unsecured. This makes it critical for organizations to balance transparency with robust security measures.

2. Potential Misuses of SBOMs: Larry provided examples of how malicious actors can use SBOMs to identify unpatched vulnerabilities in software components. He shared insights into the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by adversaries to exploit these vulnerabilities.

3. Defensive Strategies and Ethical Use: Larry highlighted the importance of developing defensive strategies to protect against the misuse of SBOMs. He presented case studies and offered expert advice on how organizations can use SBOMs ethically and effectively to enhance their security posture.
