Software Supply Chain Security: How to Avoid Becoming the Next SolarWinds or Log4j Disaster
Organizations worried about software supply chain attacks should prioritize role-based access control, system monitoring, and boundary protection, advises a new paper. The software supply chain is a tangled web of dependencies, and bad code can wreak havoc. So, guard those boundaries like bouncers at a club on New Year’s Eve!
Hot Take:
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the smorgasbord of supply chain security frameworks, you’re not alone. But fear not! A new study has turned the chaos into a slightly less chaotic buffet, with a side of role-based access control and environmental scanning tools. Bon appétit!
Key Points:
- The software supply chain is a complex web of dependencies vulnerable to attacks.
- A new study offers a ranked list of mitigation tasks to tackle these vulnerabilities.
- The top recommended tasks include role-based access control and system monitoring.
- Three key tasks missing from current frameworks have been identified for future inclusion.
- Organizations are advised to step up their game in open-source software security.
