Attacks like those targeting SolarWinds and 3CX have prompted calls for software producers to develop their applications with security in mind.

However, cybercriminals and state-backed hacking crews won’t wait for that to happen, and businesses can’t wait to use their commercial software either.
As such, we need to consider all the roles that participate in the supply chain, from development to procurement. That way, we can begin to manage this risk even when the software we rely on isn’t always secure by design.
However, securing software supply chains is no simple task.
Fortunately, a new book charts out a path for organizations to broadly identify cybersecurity risks and lock down development and procurement pipelines. In the latest edition of the RL Book Club Series, host Paul Roberts interviews Cassie Crossley, the Vice President of Supply Chain Security at Schneider Electric about her new book from O’Reilly: Software Supply Chain Security.
✓ The rapidly evolving threat environment of software supply chain attacks
✓ Where the weakest links are in organization’s software supply chain
✓ How software producers can assemble the building blocks for a robust software supply chain security program
✓ Why it is essential for software buyers to evaluate third-party risk in the supply chain
