We just released parlay, a new open source tool that can enrich SBOMs with additional information. You can read more in the announcement blog post. In that post, we briefly mentioned why this is important for decision-making based on SBOM data, but thought a few quick examples might be interesting. parlay can add a lot of extra information to an SBOM, and we can use that information to write more powerful policies.
SecurityScorecard conducted an extensive investigation into the Zellis breach. This research revealed alarming insights about the scale and persistence of the attack. The data exfiltration was carried out in several steps: Netflow data from Zellis IP ranges indicated large outbound transfers over HTTPS, which pointed towards the presence of a web shell. Additionally, SecurityScorecard researchers detected exfiltration over SSH to known malicious IP addresses.
