The Canada-based cybersecurity company Cybeats has been putting on an excellent – and very well-informed – series of webinars on software bills of materials on LinkedIn. The next one (the third) looks like another winner. The webinar will be at 1PM EDT on October 19th. The link to the webinar is here: https://lnkd.in/dyiaYECc. No signup is required, although Cybeats would like you to register here.
The webinar consists of a three
person panel, including:
1.
Cassie Crossley of
Schneider Electric, who has without doubt been one of the foremost advocates
for SBOMs in the critical infrastructure sector. She has been a very active
participant in the NTIA’s SBOM efforts, and has provided (with a couple
colleagues from SE) two very informative hour-long presentations on SBOMs to
the Energy SBOM Proof of Concept.
2.
Shuli Goodman of Linux
Foundation Energy, who promotes open source projects aimed at the energy sector
all over the world and who has been a great supporter of the DBOM (distributed
bill of materials) effort. DBOM is somewhat related to SBOM, but is a really
great idea in its own right. I continually compare it to the internet in the
early 1990s: Everyone knew it would be big someday, but nobody was exactly sure
what the spark would be (I’d say the Netscape IPO in 1995 – when a bunch of
geeks, doing something that very few people understood, gathered the unheard-of
sum of $1 billion – was that spark).
3.
Philip Tonkin of
National Grid, who I don’t know but I’m sure will have something interesting to
say, since he wouldn’t be on the panel if he didn’t!
The moderator of the panel is
Chris Blask of Cybeats, the inventor of DBOM (which is an open source project) and
someone who has played a leading role in cybersecurity for a long time. For
