The OWASP Foundation is a non-profit consortium best known for its open-source security standards, and its software arm supplies lightweight utilities that turn those standards into everyday DevOps practice. CycloneDX CLI and CycloneDX Generator (cdxgen) form a complementary toolkit for software-bill-of-materials (SBOM) work: the CLI ingests existing JSON, XML or SPDX documents so teams can merge multiple bills of materials, diff versions between releases, convert formats for regulators, and validate against the CycloneDX schema, while cdxgen acts as a polyglot generator that scans source trees, container images, npm, Maven, Gradle, NuGet, Go mod, Python wheels, Rust crates and more to produce a complete, specification-compliant SBOM in a single command. Together they plug into CI pipelines, container registries, dependency-update bots and compliance dashboards, giving security officers, release managers and auditors a precise inventory of every library, framework and system component that ships with a build. Typical use cases include open-source license auditing, vulnerability-response triage, supplier risk assessments for Fortune 500 procurement teams, and automated evidence collection for standards such as ISO 27001, FedRAMP, SSAE-18 or the EU Cyber-Resilience Act. Both tools remain command-line driven, cross-platform and license-free, aligning with OWASP’s mission to make transparent, shareable security data the default for modern software delivery.
