With SBOM adoption accelerating over the past two years, new tools, standards and use cases are emerging. Kate Stewart, a pioneering force behind SPDX and Alan Pope, Director of Developer Relations at Anchore explore how SBOMs transformed from static documents to dynamic, database-driven knowledge systems that can scale with today's complex software ecosystems.

This session provides a forward-looking perspective on where SBOM technology is heading, focusing on recent developments in SPDX 3.0 and upcoming features in SPDX 3.1.

Our experts discuss:

  • The evolution of SBOMs from licensing to comprehensive transparency tools.
  • The latest features and upcoming developments of SPDX 3.0/3.1 roadmap.
  • Emerging SBOM use cases such as AI/ML models, hardware components, and critical infrastructure.
  • Practical approaches to generating high-quality SBOMs for maximum accuracy.
