SBOM Template: How to Structure a Software Bill of Materials
A practical SBOM template covering the required fields, a ready-to-adapt CycloneDX skeleton, and the mistake of treating an SBOM as a document you fill in by hand.
Best SBOM Tools in 2026: Generation, Management, and Compliance Compared
An honest guide to the best SBOM tools in 2026 — from open-source generators like Syft and Trivy to full SBOM management and AIBOM platforms — with clear guidance on which to use for generation, analysis, and compliance.
Syft v1.20 Release: Faster Scans, Smarter License Detection
Anchore's Syft v1.20 ships a refactored license cataloger, Bitnami SBOM passthrough, and a 2x speedup on filesystem scans. We tested the upgrade on five real codebases.
SBOM Examples: What a Real Software Bill of Materials Looks Like
Concrete SBOM examples in both SPDX and CycloneDX, showing what fields actually go in a software bill of materials and how the two formats differ in practice.
What Is a Software Ingredient Label?
Food gets an ingredient panel; software gets an SBOM. What a software ingredient label contains, who is demanding one, and how to generate yours automatically.
Best AIBOM Tools in 2026: AI Bill of Materials Platforms Compared
An honest, technical guide to the best AIBOM tools in 2026 — from the open-source OWASP AIBOM Generator to AI-BOM features in Snyk, Wiz, Mend, JFrog, and Manifest Cyber — with clear guidance on what an AI bill of materials should actually capture.
How Snyk Container generates a Software Bill of Materials...
How Snyk Container statically scans image layers, parses OS package databases and lockfiles, and exports CycloneDX/SPDX SBOMs — mechanically explained.
What is a Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange (VEX) Statement
A VEX statement is a machine-readable assertion of whether a product is actually affected by a CVE — the document that stops your customers from triaging your SBOM for you.
How Snyk AI-BOM generates a CycloneDX v1.6-compliant ML-BOM
How Snyk's aibom CLI uses static analysis to detect models, agents, and MCP servers, then maps them into a CycloneDX v1.6-compliant ML-BOM structure.
How Snyk AI-BOM's continuous refresh model differs from a...
How Snyk's AI-BOM keeps model and dataset inventories current through continuous refresh, and why that differs mechanically from a point-in-time static SBOM export.
How Snyk's AI-BOM API lets teams query AI component inven...
How Snyk's AI-BOM API exposes AI model and dataset inventories as queryable, CycloneDX-aligned data teams can pull into CI, GRC, and asset tooling programmatically.
SBOM Format Wars: CycloneDX vs SPDX in Practice
CycloneDX and SPDX both claim to be "the" SBOM standard. Here's where they actually diverge on VEX support, license compliance, and government mandates — and which to pick.
Self-healing security runs on Safeguard.
