How do I generate and store SBOMs for Time-to-restore artifacts?

Generating and storing Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) for Time-to-Restore artifacts is essential for maintaining the integrity and security of your software supply chain. SBOMs provide a comprehensive list of components in your software, which aids in quick restoration and transparency during incidents or vulnerabilities. This article outlines the steps to generate and store SBOMs effectively.

The generation of SBOMs can be accomplished using various tools that can scan your project and produce an SBOM in formats such as SPDX or CycloneDX. Once generated, these SBOMs can be stored in a secure location, like a version control system or a dedicated storage solution, ensuring they’re easily accessible when needed.

Below is an example of generating an SBOM using a hypothetical command line tool:

// Command to generate SBOM sbom-generator --output sbom.json --input my-artifact.zip
