AI-BOM Explained: Tracking Models As Supply Chain
AI models are now first-class supply chain components. Here is how an AI-BOM captures lineage, datasets, runtimes, and evaluations in a way that survives audit.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.

CycloneDX 1.7 brings richer ML-BOM, better attestations, and VEX tightening. A practical review of what changed and what it means for your SBOM pipeline.
Procurement that asks for a PDF security questionnaire is buying paperwork. SBOM-driven onboarding turns vendor risk into queryable, comparable, and enforceable data.
A senior-engineer comparison of CycloneDX and SPDX in 2026, covering field coverage, tooling, AI-BOM support, VEX, and the practical trade-offs for your programme.
Auditors do not score SBOMs on file count. They check a small set of fields that prove the artefact is real, current, and tied to a verifiable build. Here are the ones that matter.
An SBOM without VEX is a noise machine. Here is how disciplined VEX authoring cuts vulnerability backlogs by 70-90% while improving defensibility, not weakening it.
Fulcio issues short-lived certificates for keyless signing. Here is the enterprise view of how those certificates are issued, validated, and woven into long-term trust.
Six tools generate SBOMs from Java projects. They disagree on transitive depth, license fields, and licensing of their own output. A head-to-head.
Generating provenance is half the story. Consuming it correctly, at the right points in the pipeline, is where the security value actually materialises.
