“Software Supply Chain Security Deep-Dive” addresses the evolving field of software supply chain security (SSCS). The article sets the stage by emphasizing the increasing relevance and rapid growth of SSCS as an essential part of cloud and application security. It discusses the extensive use of open-source components in modern codebases and the associated risks, highlighting the need for better visibility and management across the software development lifecycle. The article then aims to define a comprehensive SSCS platform and exploring innovative techniques such as secrets detection and reachability analysis. It examines various vendors and solutions that are shaping the industry, discussing the importance of integrating security measures throughout the entire supply chain from code creation to deployment. The paper also addresses the challenges of securing software supply chains against sophisticated attacks, with examples illustrating the vulnerabilities inherent in open-source projects.
