What is the SBOM for Internal Quality Control course about?

Internal Quality Control teams are increasingly responsible for producing SBOMs that satisfy security, legal, and third-party review, but current processes are manual, error-prone, and slow. Each new audit or vendor request triggers redundant work because templates aren’t standardized, tooling isn’t integrated, and source-of-truth confusion leads to version drift. The result: last-minute scrambles, repeated validation rounds, and overstretched teams.
