Supply Chain Security: The Office of the National Cyber Director Perspective
summary
The Office of the National Cyber Director pushes two concrete moves: a February report Back to the Building Blocks calling for adoption of memory-safe languages to address an estimated 70–75% of common vulnerabilities, and a call to develop empirical software quality metrics. The office coordinates a 69‑initiative implementation plan across 18 agencies, runs semiconductor workshops and partners with industry under the Chips and Science Act ($50B) to produce an industry profile and a secure-development framework.
