Topic 1 - Welcome to the show Rob. Tell us a little bit about your background and what led you to start Edgebit.

Topic 2 - SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) has become a big topic, especially around the cloud-native community. Software and security have been around a long time, why the uptick in discussions around SBOM now?

Topic 3 - Let’s walk through the day-in-the-life of a typical team these days. Where are there holes in their current toolset and how are things potentially improving?

Topic 4 - Tell us about Edgebit. Where does Edgebit play a role in the Software Supply Chain?

Topic 5 - Edgebit take a broad view of a company’s software landscape, but a narrow view of action. Less of a boil the ocean approach. How do you find this approach is appreciated by developers vs. security teams?

Topic 6 - What are some of the ways you expect to see the SBOM and Software Supply Chain over the next year?
