Keysight launches SBOM Manager for cybersecurity compliance
Keysight Technologies Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) announced the launch of Keysight SBOM Manager, a solution designed to help organizations meet cybersecurity and software transparency requirements including the European Union's Cyber Resilience Act.
The solution provides a unified approach to generating, managing, and using Software Bill of Materials for digital products. It analyzes binary software, firmware, containers, and other packaged components, including closed-source and embedded dependencies.
The platform continuously correlates SBOMs with vulnerability sources and supports Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange to help teams focus on applicable risks. It includes secure sharing capabilities through role-based access and version tracking.
The EU Cyber Resilience Act, effective in 2026, requires manufacturers of connected digital products to implement cybersecurity risk management, maintain SBOMs, and report actively exploited vulnerabilities within 24 hours. Similar requirements exist through U.S. Executive Order 14028 and FDA cybersecurity guidance.
"As cybersecurity regulations mature, SBOMs are becoming a prerequisite for doing business globally," said Ram Periakaruppan, Vice President and General Manager, Network Test & Security Solutions at Keysight.
Regulators in India, Japan, and South Korea are implementing SBOM requirements across regulated sectors. Non-compliance can result in penalties, delayed approvals, recalls, or restricted market access.
The solution combines SBOM generation, vulnerability intelligence, secure sharing, data quality assurance, and consumer-side visibility in a single platform, according to the company's press release.
