How to Get Your Software Vendors to Fix Their Code
For years, software vendors enjoyed implicit trust, delivering “black box” binaries that enterprises deployed without real scrutiny. But that era is over.
In the wake of escalating third-party software breaches, and public calls to action like the open letter from JPMorgan Chase’s CISO, the tide has turned. Organizations of every size are under pressure to ensure their vendors take accountability for insecure code and to demand real remediation, not lip service.
In this webinar, ReversingLabs experts will share how security, procurement, and risk teams can leverage both policy and technical tools to drive meaningful, timely vendor collaboration. Learn how to move from passive trust to active assurance, and transform software assurance from a compliance checkbox to a competitive advantage.
Key Takeaways:
