Cyber Defense Magazine published Ken Zalevsky’s article “The Critical Role of Sboms (Software Bill of Materials) In Defending Medtech From Software Supply Chain Threats,” in their November 2024 issue.
Software supply chain attacks have emerged as a serious threat in the rapidly evolving field of cybersecurity, especially in medical devices. As these devices become more and more interconnected and dependent on complex software ecosystems, the potential for exploitation through the supply chain has grown exponentially. One powerful tool in the fight against these attacks is the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM). SBOMs enable greater transparency, security, and compliance by offering a comprehensive inventory of all software components. In this article, we will explore how SBOMs can be leveraged to prevent software supply chain attacks, with a focus on the medical device industry. To read the full article, click here.
