SBOMs Everywhere - Host SBOMs in Cloudsmith

Jun 13 2022

You can now easily host signed SBOMs alongside your OCI artifacts in Cloudsmith, and use them for incident investigations and run-time protection, further securing your software supply chain.

SBOMs are fundamental to software supply chain security, so much so that the Open Source Security Foundation included "SBOMs Everywhere" as one of the 10 streams of investment for the Open Source Software Security Mobilization Plan.

SBOMs enable organizations to more easily determine if, how, and where they may be vulnerable when a new major vulnerability is discovered. Additionally, by scanning SBOMs for CVEs as part of run time, organizations can be more confident they are shipping secure software into production.

You can host your SBOM alongside your image in Cloudsmith using sigstore/cosign tooling. From there, you can incorporate SBOMs into your software supply chain workflows. We've put together an example workflow that demonstrates how to sign images; generate, attach and verify SBOMs; and continuously scan your SBOMs for new CVEs. The example leverages open source software and Cloudsmith as the container registry.
