Identifying software is hard!

I'll be on a panel with @stevespringett.bsky.social (OWASP), MegaZone (F5), and Christopher Turner (NIST) at VulnCon to talk about options for software identification in vulnerability management.

9:00 to 9:30 EDT, April 8th.

Honored to be discussing @cyclonedx.bsky.social and machine-readable attestations with Anchore this month. Join me! This is going to be fun and educational for anyone not familiar with CycloneDX Attestations (CDXA). This is an ideal solution for EO 14144 which requires machine-readable attestations.
🚨 New Webinar 🚨 The need for verifiable trust in #software components is critical. Learn to build on #SBOMs w/ CycloneDX attestation plus how to create cryptographically verifiable evidence of #security practices, #automate manual audit workflows & more. https://get.anchore.com/cyclonedxandsboms/

@hacks4pancakes.com, you gave one of the best keynotes yesterday at ChiBrrCon that I’ve seen in a very long time. Bravo. Told my wife and a few co-workers about it and the utterly raw impact it had on many in the audience. Any chance of an encore or recording in the future? Best wishes.

The continued innovation happening in @cyclonedx.bsky.social is truly inspiring. This week, its from the cdxgen team with "cdx1", a family of open-source, SOTA machine learning (ML) models purpose-built for xBOM analysis, validation, and reasoning.

I have been on Twitter since Feb 2009 and today, I have deactivated the account. While I am unable to make public political statements, it's not that hard to figure out. The projects that I lead or co-lead will continue to have a presence on the site, but I will not.

At the first ever KoalaCon @owasp.org shared insights into how TEA (Transparency Exchange API) can help automate your product lifecycle. This will be essential to dependency management and vulnerability management in the future. And you can be part of it! #cybersec #appsec #dependency-management
KoalaCon 2024 was a huge success. Thank you to all the speakers, including Olle E Johansson, Anthony Harrison, Niklas Düster, Viktor Petersson, and Piotr P. Karwasz. Couldn't attend. No worries, the recording is available on YouTube.
