Analysts investigate attack surfaces and defenses concerning SBOMs for the Win! How PSIRT Teams Could Use SBOM.

Summary

Schneider Electric Context

Harish Shankar and Fabrissa present Schneider Electric's product security program. The global energy and automation company operates across 100 countries with thousands of suppliers, integrators, and service partners, making supply-chain security critical.

End-to-End Security Program

Thirteen initiatives cover R&D through customer operations, adopting IEC 62443 standards, global security lab pen testing, source-code governance, secure manufacturing, tamper-proof staging, and field-engineer practices like banning unscanned USBs at customer sites.

SBOM Initiative

Fabrissa describes Schneider's SBOM program for firmware and embedded products with transitive dependencies. The journey began atop an existing product vulnerability management program where R&D teams already tracked component inventories.

PSIRT Integration

Software bill of materials is positioned as a key supply-chain security component enabling PSIRT teams to respond to vulnerabilities across complex products that blend operating systems, embedded software, and cloud components.
