Andrew Nesbitt takes us on a thrilling journey through the dazzling world of #lockfiles, asking the earth-shattering question: could they be SBOMs? 🚀✨ Spoiler alert: the answer is yes, but in formats as unique as snowflakes. ❄️ Meanwhile, the rest of the world waits with bated breath for the EU to dictate our digital lives! 🇪🇺🔒

Could lockfiles just be SBOMs?

Lockfiles and SBOMs record the same information in different formats. What if package managers used SBOMs directly, instead of converting later?

🧑‍🌾 bomctl makes SBOMs easier to work with by handling format and version differences for you. Convert between SPDX and CycloneDX, upgrade spec versions, and link #SBOMs across suppliers and systems.

When a new vulnerability drops, the first question is always: Is this in my supply chain? 🔍

By ingesting and enriching #SBOMs with vulnerability and dependency data, #GUAC lets you query your entire application portfolio and pinpoint where action is needed immediately.

I chat with @mbarbero about security happenings at the @EclipseFdn

My favorite project they have is helping projects generate #SBOMs, but there's a lot happening. If you want to see some public examples of how to do security right, give it a listen!

Eclipse Foundation SBOMs with Mikael Barbero

In this conversation, Josh speaks with Mikael Barbero, head of security at the Eclipse Foundation. They discuss the foundation’s role in enhancing the security posture of open source projects, the importance of Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs), and the various security services provided to projects. Mikael explains the challenges and strategies involved in implementing security best practices across a diverse range of projects, as well as the foundation’s proactive approach to navigating security regulations and compliance. This is some great security work happening for open source projects.
