Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)

Next meeting scheduled for September 2025

Details coming soon.

Supporting SBOM adoption across the energy sector community

DOE CESER is the sector risk management agency for the energy sector, and in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), leads the DOE CESER Energy Sector Software Bills of Materials (SBOM) and Hardware Bill of Materials (HBOM) Quarterly Working Group to support BOM adoption across the energy sector community. This working group supports BOM adoption through facilitating the discussion of use cases, research priorities, and ongoing challenges across ESIB stakeholders. Attendees include, but are not limited to, vendors, asset owners, and government stakeholders.

The Quarterly Working Group has evolved from the SBOM Proof of Concept Group, which began April 2021 to advance BOM development in the energy sector and share information with the stakeholder community.
