This is essentially just an ad for their service, no? Why is this being upvoted? I'm surprised "SBOM" is actually an acronym people would recognize enough to upvote without reading the article.
- gundmc 5y ago"SBOM" almost always refers to Service Bill of Materials in my experience. So not even the acronym would stand out in this usage.
- richardwhiuk 5y agoUsually "Software Bill of Materials".
- gundmc 5y agoYeah, popular usage seems to have shifted over recent years. I'm sure my experience is biased by my close work with discrete manufacturing. Searching Google incognito does seem to validate your assertion.
- mrweasel 5y agoIf your doing software which will need to pass an FDA audit, having a “SBOM” is required, though most would use “SOUP”, software of unknown providence. In these cases I can see a service like this be very useful. There’s a ton of stuff on HN which is just ads for SaaS companies, at least this is new and different. It’s might also be something many are interested in, in light of the Log4j exploit. It would have help me a great deal.
