SBOMs are no longer just for engineering teams, they’re strategic levers in enterprise deals and compliance reviews.
The situation this course is for
Without clear, authoritative SBOM practices, deals slow down, security teams push back, and cross-functional alignment stalls, even when business outcomes depend on integration speed.
Who this is for
Senior strategic account managers in tech organizations who influence cross-functional, multi-vendor solutions and compliance readiness
Who this is not for
Individual contributors focused solely on technical implementation or developers maintaining internal tooling
What you walk away with
- Own the SBOM narrative in enterprise sales and renewal cycles
- Produce standardized, audit-ready SBOM packages for multi-team alignment
- Accelerate vendor onboarding using reusable SBOM templates
- Lead cross-functional alignment between security, procurement, and product on SBOM requirements
- Turn SBOM compliance into a competitive differentiator in strategic deals
