Tackling Software Supply Chain Security As An Organization

The Secure Developer

Show Notes

In this episode, we are Continuing our mini-series on supply chain security, as we deep dive into the organisational aspects of this charge and hear from a number of our experts about solutions and initiatives to better prepare for supply chain risks and visibility issues.

Simon and Guy are joined by Adrian Ludwig, Aeva Black, Jim Zemlin, Emily Fox, and Eric Brewer as we start thinking about securing the supply chain as an organisation. Guypo breaking down the four fundamental steps for doing this, and how to tackle the subject of SBOMs or Software Bill of Materials. Our guests share fascinating perspectives on how these areas relate to a company's overall preparedness and particularly to the open source space. We also cover some general advice about raising security awareness at a company, so for all this and a whole lot more, make sure to join us. Next week is our miniseries finale, where we will tackle the future of software supply chain security, so make sure you tune in for that !
