White Paper: Understanding the Risks of the Software Supply Chain

    Four ways to secure supply chain

    There are four elements involved in securing the software supply chain: 1) software you write, 2) software you import, 3) software you run, and 4) software you build with.

    If exploited, these security “dimensions” present significant risk to the software supply chain. This year alone, successful vulnerability exploits of SolarWinds, Codecov, Kaseya, Microsoft Exchange Server, and Confluence exposed tens of thousands of organizations and applications to malicious activity.
