Endor Labs blog post outlining six practical questions organizations should answer before standing up an SBOM program: how to send/receive/store SBOMs, which vendors must provide them (via business impact analysis), delivery frequency and SLAs, how to analyze them for exploitability (reachability analysis vs. simple CVE counting), remediation/risk-acceptance policy, and using SBOMs plus VEX during incident response (e.g., Log4Shell-style disclosures). It closes with a pitch for Endor Labs' source-code-based SBOM/VEX generation.
TL;DR A practical checklist of the operational, contractual, and analytical decisions (transmission, vendor scoping, cadence, exploitability triage, remediation policy, incident response) needed to run an effective SBOM/VEX program.
