Beyond the CBOM Hype: Setting the Record Straight

ISARA Corporation
Apr 24, 2025

Misconceptions. Myths. Hype. The conversation around Cryptography Bills of Materials (CBOMs) has gained significant traction, with some presenting them as a comprehensive solution for cryptographic agility, inventories, and quantum-safe transitions. While CBOMs have their merits, the expectations placed on them often overshadow their actual capabilities. It’s time to set the record straight.
