Deployment and Hardening

For deployed software, security controls can be hardened leveraging SBOMs to discover critical vulnerabilities as well as patch update discovery and authenticity to update software on critical assets.

Continuous Monitoring

Continuous Monitoring

In order to stay on top of security and compliance requirements, Fortress enables continuous monitoring of software patch updates, SBOMs, vendor changes, and software vulnerabilities.

SBOMs: Critical to Software Security

SBOMs enable quick identification of vulnerabilities in software components, including open-source libraries, proprietary code, and other dependencies. The resulting analysis is indispensable for organizations due to several reasons: it enhances security awareness, ensures licensing compliance, and simplifies software component tracking for updates or patches. Overall, SBOMs are instrumental for comprehensive risk management by allowing organizations to trace software origins, assess their threat level, and rapidly identify issues.
