Summary

The US federal government has proposed the adoption of a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) across the software industry to help organizations detect vulnerabilities in third-party software. SBOMs provide an inventory of the software components in a product's codebase, including third-party dependencies. While useful for identifying vulnerabilities, SBOMs have limitations that can make them difficult to work with for vulnerability management purposes. Datadog Application Vulnerability Management addresses these limitations by providing real-time insights into vulnerabilities in open source libraries running in production and integrating with multiple well-known vulnerability databases.
