HBOM
Inventory hardware components for IoT, ICS, and other types of embedded and connected devices
CycloneDX supports many types of components, including hardware devices, making it ideal for use with consumer electronics, IoT, ICS, and other types of embedded devices. CycloneDX fills an important role in-between traditional eBOM and mBOM use cases for hardware devices.
device
as a first-class component typeCycloneDX can represent any type of software component, service, and the firmware and hardware devices in an ‘as-built’
product. A formal property taxonomy can be leveraged and extended to describe any type of hardware attribute or configuration.
CycloneDX can also reference documentation that may describe the ‘recipe’ for how the product is manufactured.
Organizations, or entire industries, can also leverage multiple extension points to develop advanced models.
