Just submitted a talk to DEF CON 33:
What SBOMs Forgot About the Network

NetBOM is a community-driven framework to declare where a device or app should connect so your network can block the rest.

Enforceable trust at the network layer.

🔐 I ran an experiment on my smart thermostats:
➤ Blocked all Internet traffic
➤ Asked support for needed IPs/domains
➤ They said: “Just put it in the DMZ”
That’s not Zero Trust. That’s zero security.
So I built NetBOM—a network bill of materials.
Like SBOM, but for the Internet access devices actually need.
