SAMBA+ AIX 4.20.1 is the first SAMBA+ package to include Software Bills of Materials (SBOM files). With this, SAMBA+ AIX is all set for the upcoming Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). The formats CycloneDX, SPDX and SWID tags are supplied. The SBOM is also in progress for the standard SAMBA+ packages - the SerNet Samba team will follow suit with this shortly.
The CRA is a regulatory initiative of the European Union that aims to increase the cyber resilience of digital products. An SBOM, which lists all software components, libraries and dependencies, is a tool to fulfill the security and transparency requirements of the CRA. With this step, SerNet is already proactively preparing to comply with the CRA.
