Eracent SBOM-HQ™

SBOM-HQ is an automated platform for managing and analyzing Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) and Cryptography Bill of Materials (CBOMs), with an emphasis on cybersecurity, license risk mitigation, and obsolescence management. It functions as a centralized repository for organizational SBOMs, identifying applications affected by vulnerabilities and streamlining remediation through integrated software data.

• The platform identifies open-source license types in use, highlighting potential legal implications associated with certain licenses, such as Strong CopyLeft. SBOM-HQ facilitates governance by assigning SBOM ownership and categorizing them by business line, publisher, and geography for comprehensive oversight.
• Its hierarchical structure (Publisher > Line of Business > Application Component) and role-based access controls ensure data security and segregation for multi-entity use. System-derived metrics evaluate libraries and components for vulnerabilities, license issues, and obsolescence, enabling quality assessments without technical analysis. Results are accessible via dashboards.
• One of the key advantages of SBOM-HQ lies in its ability to aggregate SBOMs from both external suppliers and in-house development teams. This unified approach enables organizations to obtain a holistic view of their software supply chain, enhancing transparency and facilitating the identification of vulnerabilities or compliance issues across all components, regardless of origin. By centralizing this information, organizations can more effectively coordinate remediation efforts and ensure that both supplier and internally developed software meet security and licensing requirements.
• Additionally, SBOM-HQ delivers actionable insights tailored to various organizational levels. For development teams, it provides detailed component data to aid in secure coding and rapid vulnerability mitigation. Purchasing departments benefit from visibility into software risks prior to procurement decisions, while project managers can monitor compliance and risk throughout the project lifecycle. At the CxO level, the platform offers strategic overviews and risk assessments, supporting informed decision-making and reinforcing governance across the entire organization.
