Father of SBOMs Joins NetRise: A Match Made in Cybersecurity Heaven
Dr. Allan Friedman, the Father of SBOMs, joins NetRise as a strategic advisor. While AI’s potential grows, Friedman insists SBOMs remain essential for software supply chain security. “AI is great,” he says, “but it still needs its SBOM veggies for a balanced diet.”
Hot Take:
In a world where AI is poised to do everything from writing poetry to making your morning coffee, Dr. Allan Friedman is sticking to his guns — or SBOMs, rather. He’s the kind of guy who knows that just because your toaster can now analyze your existential crises, it still can’t tell you why your software is having a meltdown. Who needs an AI therapist when you’ve got an SBOM whisperer?
