SBOM security: key components and top use cases
A practical breakdown of SBOM security components and top use cases—incident response, compliance, M&A—plus how Safeguard's approach differs from SCA-first tools like Mend.io.
Log4j-style incident response using SBOM inventories
How SBOM inventories turned days of Log4Shell triage into minutes-long queries — and why scanner-first tools like Mend.io struggled when every team needed answers at once.
EU Cyber Resilience Act SBOM requirements
The EU Cyber Resilience Act makes SBOMs a legal requirement, not a best practice. Here's what's mandated, key 2026/2027 deadlines, and how Safeguard compares to Mend.io.
