• S-BOMs for containerized applications can detect unexpected changes in the contents of a software application which can indicate potential tampering, new versions, or changes in dependencies.
• Generating an S-BOM creates a snapshot of the components of a container at a specific time during the development process.
• Multiple snapshots throughout development are necessary to detect any changes that may introduce new risks.
• S-BOMs should be stored alongside the image it was generated for and published to a registry.
• The question of when to generate S-BOMs is important to consider as it can affect the detection of potential risks.
