In software development, supply chain risks create vulnerabilities like malicious code injection, compromised components, and unauthorized access. These risks can be curtailed through strategies such as supply chain mapping, vendor assessments, code reviews, and patch management. In this session, we dive into utilizing these techniques to bolster security within the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Further, we illuminate how developers can complement these measures with secure coding, dependency management, threat modeling, security awareness training, and security reviews.
Key takeaway
Learn how to reduce supply chain risk adopting techniques used in the industry today.
