FDA Says SBOMs Are Key To Better Cybersecurity In NIST Report

The US Food and Drug Administration strongly focused on requiring use of Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) in its report to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on cybersecurity best practices and standards. The information will be used by NIST to recommend standards the government should use when buying new hardware and software that could be vulnerable to cybersecurity threats, and could also lead to new consumer labeling guidelines.
