Join us at BSides Albuquerque for Trailblazing:
Lessons from Oregon Trail for the Secure Software Supply Chain.

We’re excited that Community Manager, Kadi McKean, is speaking at BSides Albuquerque and will deliver “Trailblazing: Lessons from Oregon Trail for the Secure Software Supply Chain.”

Dysentery, snake bites,and drowning—classic ways to die in Oregon Trail. But how do you “die” in application development? Simple: a day-zero breach or cyberattack. Just one successful breach can land your organization on the front page of the news.
The question is: can you prevent it?

Yes.

Today, open source components make up 90% of modern application dependencies. With the software industry’s reliance on open source, it’s critical to choose well-maintained, community-driven projects to withstand disasters like Log4j.
In this session, learn how attackers embed malicious code that evades sandbox detection or masquerades as legitimate vendor software. We'll explore real-world examples, from Log4j vulnerabilities to state-sponsored malware in macOS Flutter apps, dissecting what went wrong.

Discover emerging technologies that assess software risks without relying on source code, like automated static binary analysis and black-box testing. Gain actionable insights and best practices to uncover hidden threats in your software supply chain.
