An Intellyx Brain Candy Update
We last covered Slim.ai in August 2022. At that time, it removed excess code and vulnerabilities from containers, enabling organizations to deploy, lighter weight, hardened microservices into production.
Since that article, Slim.ai has added the ability to generate software bills of materials (SBOMs) for the containers it slims, giving organizations insight into any third-party source code that might appear in those containers.
SBOMs have recently become an urgent priority, partly because of notorious software supply chain hacks like Log4J, but also because of the US White House’s Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity, which is driving SBOM requirements across US enterprises.
