A tailored course, built for your situation
Influence across more teams with SBOM integration
Lead software transparency initiatives across orgs using proven SBOM practices
The situation this course is for
Practitioners have deep knowledge but struggle to gain alignment across dev teams, product leaders, and compliance functions. Without broad buy-in, SBOM remains a checklist item, not a lever for cross-org impact.
Who this is for
Senior compliance or security practitioner in a distributed engineering org, driving software transparency initiatives without direct authority over all teams involved
Who this is not for
Entry-level analysts, auditors focused solely on documentation, or engineers building SBOM parsers without governance context
What you walk away with
- Design SBOM rollouts that gain fast adoption across product and engineering teams
- Map SBOM to real release cycle decisions, not just compliance checks
- Build cross-functional playbooks that survive team reorgs
- Socialize SBOM updates with product leads before escalation points
- Own the narrative when new regulatory scrutiny hits
