Anthony Harrison, APH10
Anthony Harrison has been developing and delivering mission-critical applications for over 40 years working on various complex programs where he held various roles in software, systems and cyber engineering, as well as providing technical leadership for a number of programmes.
He is the Founder and Director of APH10, and co-founder of SBOM Europe, and is a leading source of expertise in Software Bill of Materials (SBOM). He has been developing open source software actively for a number of years; most recently, the applications have been related to supporting the software supply chain through utilities to generate and analyse software bills of materials (SBOMs).

Session
Understanding what is inside an application is critical for effective vulnerability management and risk assessment. By identifying the components within the application, you can identify and address potential vulnerabilities more effectively and assess the overall security posture of the application. But if the source code is not available or identifiable, then that is more of a challenge.
This talk will describe my work in extracting relevant information from an ELF binary in order to create a SBOM from an application within a deployed environment.
