- 7The New Stack·7/9/2026securityCISA pushes deeper SBOM checks for hardened images
The article discusses updated 2025 CISA guidance saying SBOMs should include all components, including transitive dependencies, with no minimum depth, plus configuration files and fork lineage. It argues that security teams should validate hardened container images with quick “sniff tests” to catch incomplete inventories, improve vulnerability response, and reduce supply chain risk.
