SBOMs as a Foundation for Medical Device Security
Learn how Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) enable medical device manufacturers to strengthen cybersecurity, meet evolving regulatory expectations, and manage software supply chain risk.
Software is at the heart of modern medical devices. As regulators and industry standards increasingly emphasize transparency and vulnerability management, Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) are becoming a critical tool for understanding and managing software composition.
Critical Software shares practical guidance and real-world lessons learned from working on safety- and mission-critical systems across industries. You’ll discover practical approaches for implementing SBOM practices that support cybersecurity, compliance, and long-term operational resilience.
In this white paper you’ll learn about:
The fundamentals of SBOMs and their role in modern medical device cybersecurity.
Key regulatory expectations, including FDA cybersecurity requirements and relevant industry standards.
The technical challenges of creating accurate and actionable SBOMs in complex software systems.
Best practices for integrating SBOM generation and validation into CI/CD pipelines.
Real-world scenarios highlighting the difference between late SBOM adoption and lifecycle integration.
