The sharp increase in attacks on organizations’ software supply chains requires policy makers to address supply chain risks with a more structured approach. President Biden’s cybersecurity executive order and NTIA’s software component transparency initiative aim to strengthen supply chain security through advanced visibility into organizations’ software bills of materials (SBOM).

It’s crucial to formulate a comprehensive strategy and find ways to secure the software supply chain against a wide range of risks in today’s software development ecosystem.

In this panel, our experts discuss the means to track supply chain risks and map out the steps an organization should take to manage and secure the open source supply chain by gaining full visibility and control over open source dependencies.
