From SBOM to ZSBOM: Why Metadata-First Risk Classification Matters
Why Today’s SBOMs Aren’t Enough Every major breach in the last five years has one thing in common: the attackers didn’t break through the front door, they slipped in through dependencies.

From the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) in Europe to Executive Order 14028 in the United States, SBOMs are now table stakes for selling software. But here is the problem: most SBOMs are glorified spreadsheets
