NTT Data has launched a new software vulnerability management service designed to help organizations detect and address security threats. The service utilizes software bills of materials to identify systems, software, and libraries affected by known vulnerabilities.
Why it matters
The service assists organizations in identifying vulnerabilities across complex digital environments, allowing them to assess risk and prioritize their security responses effectively.
The service operates as a SaaS platform that aggregates software bills of materials (SBOMs) from various business units and contractors to map dependencies between libraries. It cross-references these SBOMs against external vulnerability databases to pinpoint affected software components.
