Sessions
This talk is about SBOM — the thing that has become the most important compliance artifact in software development. I'll cover:
- Why? A brief, painful tour through the legal plot twists that turned the SBOM from a nice-to-have into a "you literally cannot sell this product without one" because too many discovered they had no idea what they were actually running.
- What? what actually goes in one, what people think goes in one, why legal and IT security want one, and what happens if you vibe-coded the whole thing.
- Who? What this all means for software developers, open source maintainers who never signed up to be vendors, and where the liability actually lies.
Expect war stories, regulatory translation services, a healthy amount of "I am not your lawyer, but…", less “it depends” and a takeaway list of things you can actually do on Monday morning — whether you're shipping software, consuming it, or maintaining the one library that all of your products depend on.
