FDD sees benefits from upcoming standard for Cryptographic Bill of Materials, as agencies work to meet EO requirements

The Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) emphasizes the importance of the upcoming standard for the Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) as a critical measure for enhancing cybersecurity across government agencies. This development aligns with recent executive orders aimed at improving cybersecurity standards and increasing overall security resilience.

FDD believes that adopting a standard CBOM will not only assist federal agencies in compliance but also positively affect the private sector by fostering greater trust in cryptographic practices. The organization points out that effective implementation of this standard could strengthen the United States' national security framework, particularly in the context of its relationships with allies including Israel.
