Simplify Global Cybersecurity Compliance with Keysight SBOM Manager for Software Transparency
Global Regulatory Compliance and Software Transparency Simplified with Keysight SBOM Manager
As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, cybersecurity regulations are evolving to ensure the security and transparency of digital products. The European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), set to take effect in 2026, is a prime example of this shift. To help organizations meet these growing demands, Keysight Technologies has launched Keysight SBOM Manager, a comprehensive solution designed to streamline global cybersecurity compliance and software transparency.
The Importance of Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs)
The importance of Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) cannot be overstated. SBOMs provide a detailed inventory of the components used in digital products, including software and firmware. This information is crucial for regulatory compliance, as it enables manufacturers to identify and address potential vulnerabilities. Keysight SBOM Manager is specifically designed to address the practical challenges organizations face in generating, managing, and using SBOMs.
Key Features of Keysight SBOM Manager
The solution offers a unified approach to SBOM management, enabling organizations to analyze binary software, firmware, containers, and other packaged components. This includes closed-source and deeply embedded dependencies, providing a comprehensive view of digital products. Keysight SBOM Manager continuously correlates SBOMs with multiple authoritative vulnerability sources, intelligently filtering out irrelevant vulnerabilities and supporting the use of Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange (VEX). This allows teams to focus on meaningful risk rather than being overwhelmed by raw vulnerability data.
Secure and Scalable Sharing of SBOMs and Vulnerability Information
In addition to its analytical capabilities, Keysight SBOM Manager supports secure and scalable sharing of SBOMs and vulnerability information. This is achieved through controlled, role-based access and version tracking, enabling organizations to meet regulatory and customer transparency expectations. The solution also includes built-in validation and normalization, ensuring that SBOMs align with evolving standards and regulatory minimum requirements.
Naoki Shimazaki, Director of the Fourth Design Department at Hitachi Industry Control Solutions, notes that SBOMs are essential for monitoring system security risks, including software composition management and supply chain risk management.
Dmitry Raidman, Chief Technology Officer at CyBeats, emphasizes the need for continuous generation of trustworthy SBOMs, correlation with actionable vulnerability intelligence, and automation of response workflows at scale.
The Consequences of Non-Compliance
The consequences of non-compliance with emerging regulations are severe. Failure to meet the requirements of the EU CRA, U.S. Executive Order 14028, and FDA cybersecurity guidance can result in penalties, delayed approvals, recalls, or restricted market access. By providing a comprehensive platform for SBOM generation, management, and sharing, Keysight SBOM Manager helps organizations reduce regulatory risk, improve vulnerability response, and build trust across global digital supply chains.
Ram Periakaruppan, VP and GM of Network Test Security Solutions at Keysight, concludes that SBOMs are becoming a prerequisite for doing business globally. Keysight SBOM Manager is designed to meet these requirements with confidence, bringing accuracy, consistency, and scalability to SBOM generation and management.
As cybersecurity regulations continue to evolve, Keysight SBOM Manager is poised to play a critical role in ensuring the security and transparency of digital products worldwide.
