Syft, created by Anchore, is an open source Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generator that analyzes container images, filesystems, repositories, and archives. It produces SBOMs in multiple standards, including SPDX, CycloneDX, and Syft's own JSON format. Syft identifies packages across ecosystems like Debian, Alpine, Python, Java, Ruby, Node.js, and Go. It integrates seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines, supports reproducible builds, and works alongside Grype for vulnerability scanning. Organizations rely on Syft to improve software supply chain transparency, meet compliance requirements, and enable automated security workflows.
