India Enhances Cybersecurity with Expanded SBOM Framework for Imports
India is enhancing its cybersecurity measures by expanding its Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) framework to detect hidden threats in imported technology, crucial for critical sectors like defense and infrastructure. With rising global supply chain vulnerabilities, CERT-In has introduced guidelines mandating a comprehensive inventory of software components, further extending to Cryptographic, AI, Quantum, and Hardware Bills of Materials. This proactive approach aligns with global Zero Trust principles, enabling continuous updates and a transparent digital asset mapping, thereby bolstering national security. As India increasingly integrates foreign technology, ensuring the integrity of software and hardware components becomes paramount for safeguarding against cyber threats.
