WHAT: |
The May 21, 2021 Presidential Executive Order issues a large set of directives aimed at strengthening the United States’ cybersecurity posture. It places a strong emphasis on improving software supply chain security, which is no surprise given the rash of recent attacks that targeted downstream users of leading applications including SolarWinds, CodeCov and others. The EO specifically requires the development of a software bill of materials (SBOM) for all application components including open-source and third-party code. This webinar will cover the current state of software supply chain security, referencing recent research conducted by VDC. The presenters will explain how organizations can strengthen supply chain safety and security using software composition analysis to extract a SBOM from applications they build or deploy in order to achieve a clear understanding of any vulnerabilities that may be present and require remediation. |
