| Definition |
Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is an inventory of software components, libraries, and dependencies used in an application or product. The acronym SBOM is commonly used in security, IT, audit, and compliance work.
Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is a DevOps security concept that integrates security, compliance, and risk controls into software delivery and operational workflows.

| Context & Usage |
Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is important in secure software development, application testing, DevSecOps, and vulnerability management because design and code choices can directly affect security risk.
Security, development, and operations teams use this concept to make security checks continuous instead of treating them as a late-stage review.
Related concepts include DevOps, DevSecOps, Security Automation and Software Supply Chain.
