The ORC community has continued refining the attestation concept through working sessions, research, and discussions at Code & Compliance and FOSDEM, including engagement with representatives from BSI and DG-CNECT. As regulatory expectations around the CRA become clearer, we are now able to provide a practical update on how the model is being developed, tested, and refined within the community.
Software bill of materials (SBOM) requirements are advancing rapidly, and the time for “wait and see” is quickly running out. The global regulatory landscape for software supply chain security is shifting from recommendations to mandates, yet many organizations remain unprepared. What you do now will determine whether your company is ready or left behind as SBOM mandates solidify.

For decades, Java has drawn a clear distinction between primitive types and reference types, with each category following its own rules in the language. One of those rules was simple: instanceof applies to reference types, not primitives. That separation has shaped how generations of Java developers reason about type checks and conversions.
Following a strong presence at FOSDEM and our second Code & Compliance event, conversations around the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) continue to mature — shifting from awareness to practical implementation. The sessions and workshops helped advance key ORC deliverables, including the voluntary security attestations project and ongoing work around due diligence.
