Security Tip: Visibility is the foundation of software supply chain security. 🛡️ Generating a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) allows your team to maintain a comprehensive inventory of all components. This is critical for rapid response when a new zero-day is disclosed. Don't wait for a breach to map your dependencies. Use tools like CycloneDX or SPDX to automate the process.
