Import and analyze third-party Software Bills of Materials in Fortify SCA.
Use Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) to import, manage, and analyze third-party software. Third parties include vendors, partners, and suppliers.
This feature is only available for our SCA Enterprise users. Already have an account? Click here to upgrade.
Each organization can upload up to 15 SBOMs. The option to increase this quota will be available in a future release.
An SBOM is a structured inventory of the components in a software project. It can include component names, versions, relationships, licenses, and vulnerability data. Use the available tabs to review specific data:
All tab: Lists all imported SBOMs.
Dependencies tab: Shows component details.
Vulnerabilities tab: Shows identified security issues.
Malware tab: Shows findings.
Licenses tab: Shows license information.
Use Search by name to locate an SBOM. Select Import to add an SBOM.
SBOM analysis examines supplied software inventory. Repository scanning analyzed source code and supported manifest files.
Repository scanning discovers dependencies; SBOM analysis uses data in the uploaded file.
Fortify SCA enriches imported components when identifiers are available, for example, Package URLs.
Use SBOMs to:
Review a supplier's SBOM before onboarding software.
Verify that components meet your license policies.
Track vulnerabilities in third-party software.
Identify supplied software affected by malware.
The quality of analysis depends on the uploaded SBOM.
Missing data can reduce dependency, vulnerability, and license visibility.
Fortify SCA does not analyze supplied source code.
Results rely on uploaded data and available component enrichment.
