## SBOM for the Linux Kernel: More Transparency on the Way For organizations focusing on Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) to increase the transparency of software components, patches have been proposed for the Linux kernel that introduce an SPDX SBOM Generation Tool. The initiative aims to improve vulnerability management, ensure license compliance, and secure the software supply chain. The adoption of SBOM is becoming increasingly important for security and risk management in the software world. SBOMs provide a comprehensive list of the components used in a software, allowing developers and users to quickly identify potential vulnerabilities and license issues. This is particularly important in complex environments where the software supply chain can be opaque and difficult to track.
