Software Supply Chain Security

In the wake of a series of high-profile breaches, it’s become apparent how vulnerable software supply chains really are. Cybercriminals have increased their efforts to compromise developer credentials so they can embed malware in software components that can be activated downstream when they’re included in an application.
Cybersecurity teams are now in a race against time to help application development teams lock down software supply chains before the next big breach occurs. The challenge lies in how to achieve that goal without slowing down the rate at which modern applications are now built and deployed.
