SBOM Management
Reduce risk from software components and increase reliability
In today’s modern hybrid IT infrastructure, third-party elements—including open-source software (OSS) and commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components—litter the software that powers your most strategic and important applications.
Flexera One’s SBOM Management is a comprehensive software bill of materials (SBOM) management and compliance solution offering you peace of mind through transparency, security and compliance in the software supply chain. With advanced automation, deep scanning and cloud-based accessibility, Flexera manages software complexities by tracking producers, third-party code and internal modules, aiding in compliance and risk management.

Mitigate security risks by understanding SBOMs
Simplify ingestion
Ingest third-party SBOMs with ease
Read in and incorporate the SBOM information you have received from your software vendors. Then leverage your Enterprise Technology Blueprint™ to associate SBOMs with your hybrid IT asset estate’s data. You can monitor over time for new vulnerabilities, outdated and end of life versions and more.
Construct your own SBOM
Define relationships, maintain critical visibility
Sometimes, applications don’t include all the details. From software built internally to SaaS applications and applications from vendors who haven’t supplied an SBOM, Flexera empowers you to construct SBOMs for the applications across your hybrid IT estate
Consolidate for strategic prioritization
Unify your SBOM source of truth
SBOMs are built with parts from myriad places—including OSS, third-party and commercial code. Unify those inputs and consolidate into a single view for strategic prioritization.
Drive down risk
Proactively approach your SBOM management
With an emphasis on real-time monitoring, ensure your organization stays ahead of potential threats and vulnerabilities while maintaining versatility—regardless of your industry or organizational size.
Benefits of SBOM Management
SBOM Management can help you mitigate risk
- Defined relationships between components, applications and your hybrid IT estate
- Addendums in standard industry formats, such as Vulnerability Disclosure Report (VDR) and Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange (VEX)
- Contextualization with end of life (EOL) and support (EOS) for strategic planning
- Compliance with regulations such as the National Cyber Security Strategy or EU CRA
- Unified platform including a single solution for all SBOM-related needs, from ingestion of third-party SBOMs to real-time monitoring of vulnerabilities
Seamless SBOM Management
From owned to third-party software
The software industry’s reliance on OSS, along with a sharp increase in dependencies, and the frequency of security exploits has set up a perfect storm for IT asset visibility and security. That’s why we’re focused on greater completeness and accuracy of the SBOM for IT asset management and their stakeholders. Gain a comprehensive list of all third-party components in your software as well as seamless management of in-house developed software, third-party components and software developed by contractors.
Frequently asked questions
According to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), an SBOM is “a formal and queryable record containing the details and relationships of various components used in building software.”
When it comes to risk management, having an SBOM is an essential element of mitigating cyber threats because it empowers you to know where to find malicious code in an application that your organization has deployed. The SBOM provides a source of truth for components in use across your enterprise to reduce organizational risk.
Regulations across the world (US Cyber EO 14028 and EU CRA) require enhanced cybersecurity and software supply chain integrity. This includes gaining transparency and assessment into software composition and security vulnerabilities for remediation. It applies to regulated industries, including financial (SEC Cyber Rules), medical, transportation, energy and more.
Software providers consistently leverage OSS to accelerate time to market and drive innovation. On average, Flexera sees 2,500 OSS components per application, which accounts for 80% or more of an application’s content. Learn more.
