Abstract

Supply chain attacks target critical infrastructure, causing large amounts of damage and evolving into a threat to public safety and national security. Accordingly, when establishing cybersecurity strategies and policies, supply chain risk management is specified to enhance security, and the US Biden administration recently issued the Executive Order on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity, SBOM was mentioned as part of the guidelines for strengthening software supply chain security. If the government mandates SBOM and uses it as a security verification tool for supply chains, it can be affected by the domestic procurement system in the future and can be referenced when establishing a security system for domestic supply chains according to the progress of policy implementation. Accordingly, in this paper, countries that are promoting the SBOM policy as a way to strengthen the security of the software supply chain were selected and analyzed with a focus on related cases. In addition, through comparison and analysis of foreign SBOM policy trends, methods for using domestic SBOM in terms of technology, policy, and law were considered. As the value of using SBOM as a supply chain integrity/transparency verification tool is expected in the future, it is necessary to continuously identify trends in the establishment of international standardization and policy development for SBOM and study the standard format.

공급망 공격은 주요기반시설을 타겟하여 피해 규모가 크고 공공 안전 및 국가안보를 위협하는 요소로 진화하고 있다. 이에 사이버안보 전략 및 정책 수립 시 공급망 위험관리를 명시하여 보안성을 제고하고 있으며, 2021년 미(美) 바이든 행정부가 발표한 국가 사이버안보 강화를 위한 행정명령에서는 소프트웨어 공급망 보안 강화를 위한 지침 중 일부로 SBOM을 언급하였다. 정부 차원에서 SBOM을 의무화하여 공급망 보안 검증 도구로 활용한다면, 향후 국내 조달체계에도 영향을 받을 수 있으며 정책 시행 경과에 따라 국내 공급망 보안 체계 수립 시에도 참고 가능할 것으로 보인다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 소프트웨어 공급망 보안 강화 방안으로써 SBOM 정책을 추진 중인 국가를 선정하여 관련 사례를 중점으로 분석하였다. 또한, 국외 SBOM 정책 동향의 비교·분석을 통하여 국내 SBOM 도입 시 기술, 정책, 법률측면에서의 활용 방안을 고찰하였다. 향후 공급망 무결성·투명성 검증 도구로 SBOM의 활용 가치가 기대되는바 SBOM에 대한 국제적 표준화 정립 및 정책 개발에 관한 지속적인 동향 파악과 표준 형식 개발 연구가 요구된다.
