In response to the ever-increasing cybersecurity crises, the White House issued an executive order requiring all software sold to the federal government to provide a "Software Bill of Materials" (SBOM).
- Similar to ingredient labels on food packaging, an SBOM specifies the composition, internal modules, and the complete supply chain of the software.
- Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) has become an international standard (ISO/IEC 5962:2021).
