Knowledge Base

Conceptual, vendor-neutral explainers on SBOM, the xBOM family, vulnerability management and software supply chain security — the "what is this and why does it matter" layer of the site.

In brief
?

What is an SBOM?

A structured list of every component — open-source and proprietary — inside a piece of software, with its version, supplier and license. Think of it as an ingredients label for code.

Why does CERT-In require it?

So organizations know exactly what's running inside software they build, buy or supply to government and essential-services users — turning "are we affected by this new vulnerability?" into a minutes-long check, not a weeks-long scramble.

What you actually need to understand

Generating an SBOM is the easy part. Real readiness means validating it, updating it every release, and being able to show who reviewed it — that's the part most teams underestimate.
