Lab Overview
This hands-on lab teaches you to create and use SBOMs for CKS exam preparation.
You'll learn to:
- Generate SBOMs using Syft in CycloneDX and SPDX formats
- Analyze software dependencies in container images
- Correlate SBOMs with vulnerability databases using Grype
- Automate SBOM generation in CI/CD pipelines
- Understand SBOM formats and compliance requirements
SBOMs are essential for software supply chain security, providing transparency into the components that make up your container images. This is increasingly important for compliance and vulnerability management.
