“We welcome the Biden Administration’s guidance to help agencies and companies ensure software incorporated into federal information systems and networks is secure,” said Gordon Bitko, 91pro视频’s Senior Vice President of Policy for Public Sector. “These provisions are an important next step to advance President Biden’s historic cybersecurity executive order released last year. We appreciate that the administration describes an implementation process and timeline for NIST guidance and prioritizes stakeholder feedback. We further appreciate the standardization and centralization of reporting requirements, which will minimize the administrative cost. Further, while SBOMs can be a useful tool to increase software transparency, there are implementation challenges that will need to be addressed in order for them to be effective.
