We are excited to introduce the latest addition to Sweet's security platform: the Runtime SBOM (Software Bill of Materials). This groundbreaking feature offers a detailed view of all the packages in use within your environment, coupled with critical security insights.

Feature Highlights

  • Comprehensive Package Inventory: Get a complete list of all packages in use across your environment with the option to filter and search according to package and version, package manager and the affected images and workloads.
  • Vulnerability Reporting: Identify all vulnerabilities associated with each package and know which specific images contain these vulnerabilities.
  • Runtime Insights: Understand which packages are executed and loaded during runtime.
  • Environment Impact Analysis: Determine which packages affect specific workloads and identify packages with potential exploitation paths to the internet.

Use Cases

Manage Critical Vulnerabilities in Your Environment 

Organizations can enhance their security posture by continuously monitoring and managing vulnerabilities within their software. The Runtime SBOM provides a dynamic inventory of all packages along with their associated vulnerabilities and runtime behavior. This enables security teams to prioritize remediation efforts on the most critical issues, thereby preventing potential exploits and reducing overall security risks.

Adhere to Compliance 

Sweet's Runtime SBOM aids compliance by providing a comprehensive, real-time view of all packages in use. This ensures all components are accounted for, vulnerabilities are identified, and runtime behaviors are monitored. By leveraging the Runtime SBOM, organizations can generate audit reports, demonstrate due diligence in vulnerability management, and adhere to regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS.

Speed up MTTR for Incidents 

In the event of a security incident, the Runtime SBOM becomes an invaluable tool for incident response. By providing detailed insights into which packages are executed and loaded during runtime, the SBOM helps incident response teams quickly identify the affected components.

Furthermore, teams can trace specific packages to determine which might be relevant to the incident. This ability to pinpoint vulnerabilities in specific images and understand their exploitation paths accelerates the investigation process. It leads to faster containment and remediation of security incidents, minimizing downtime and potential damage.

Sweet's Runtime SBOM is designed to enhance your security operations by providing a clear, actionable view of your software landscape. Stay ahead of vulnerabilities, streamline incident response, and secure your environment more effectively with our latest feature.

Embrace the future of security with Sweet's Runtime SBOM. Start leveraging these insights today to fortify your defenses and ensure a robust security posture.
