SBOMs in 2026: Everyone's generating them, no one's using them

Editorial Analysis
With the Cyber Resilience Act mandating SBOM delivery, European enterprises that generate SBOMs without integrating them into risk workflows face both regulatory exposure and a false sense of supply-chain security.

Generating software bills of materials is no longer enough — regulators and auditors will increasingly expect evidence that SBOMs drive actual risk decisions.
