Keysight Technologies has unveiled Keysight SBOM Manager, a new solution designed to help organizations navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of global cybersecurity regulations and software transparency requirements. As governments and regulatory bodies tighten compliance standards, particularly with the European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), organizations must adopt more structured and reliable ways to manage Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs). Therefore, Keysight’s latest innovation provides a unified platform to generate, manage, and operationalize SBOMs across the entire product lifecycle.
In recent years, cybersecurity regulations worldwide have started to converge around a common principle: organizations must fully understand and disclose the components within their digital products. This includes software, firmware, and third-party dependencies. As a result, frameworks such as the EU CRA, U.S. Executive Order 14028, FDA cybersecurity requirements for medical devices, and emerging regulations across Asia are making SBOMs a critical requirement for compliance, market access, and customer trust.
To address these growing demands, Keysight SBOM Manager offers enhanced visibility into digital products by analyzing binary software, firmware, containers, and other packaged components. Importantly, the solution also identifies closed-source and deeply embedded dependencies that traditional tools often miss. Consequently, organizations gain a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of their software supply chain.
Moreover, the platform continuously correlates SBOM data with multiple authoritative vulnerability databases. It also incorporates Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange (VEX) capabilities, allowing teams to filter out irrelevant vulnerabilities and focus only on actionable risks. This significantly reduces noise and helps security teams prioritize remediation efforts more effectively.
In addition to vulnerability management, Keysight SBOM Manager enables secure and scalable sharing of SBOMs and related data. Through role-based access controls and version tracking, organizations can confidently share information with regulators, partners, and customers while maintaining strict governance. Furthermore, built-in validation and normalization features ensure that SBOMs comply with evolving regulatory standards and minimum requirements.
Another key advantage of the platform is its support for SBOM consumers. Organizations can ingest and map SBOM data to deployed assets, thereby connecting transparency directly to operational environments. This capability ensures that visibility is not limited to development stages but extends into real-world usage, improving overall risk management.
Naoki Shimazaki, Fourth Design Department, Director, Software-Defined Solutions Division, Connective Engineering Division, Hitachi Industry & Control Solutions, Ltd., said: “The use of SBOMs is becoming an essential element in monitoring system security risks, including software composition management and supply chain risk management. We believe that solutions such as these, which enable visibility into system components and support vulnerability impact analysis, have significant potential to strengthen organizations’ cybersecurity efforts.”
Dmitry Raidman, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, CyBeats, added: “While companies innovate at the speed of AI, they must also put tighter governance and stronger controls in place, especially as modern products increasingly rely on open source, third-party components, and AI-assisted development. Supply chain transparency and accountability are now paramount. To meet growing global regulations, organizations need the ability to continuously generate trustworthy SBOMs, correlate them with actionable vulnerability intelligence, apply VEX to reduce noise, and automate response workflows at scale. As transparency expectations expand across software, AI, cryptography, and hardware, visibility into the full digital product stack is becoming essential for secure-by-design development, regulatory readiness, and customer trust.”
Ram Periakaruppan, Vice President and General Manager, Network Test & Security Solutions at Keysight, said: “As cybersecurity regulations mature, SBOMs are becoming a prerequisite for doing business globally. Keysight SBOM Manager helps organizations meet these requirements with confidence by bringing accuracy, consistency, and scalability to SBOM generation and management.”
Looking ahead, the EU Cyber Resilience Act, set to take effect in 2026, will require organizations to maintain SBOMs, implement robust cybersecurity risk management practices, and report actively exploited vulnerabilities within 24 hours. Similar mandates are already in place in the U.S. and are expanding across global markets. Therefore, failure to comply could lead to penalties, delayed product approvals, or restricted market access.
By combining SBOM generation, continuous vulnerability intelligence, secure sharing, and operational visibility into a single platform, Keysight SBOM Manager enables organizations to reduce regulatory risk, improve response capabilities, and build stronger trust across the global digital supply chain.
