Your Software Supply Chain is Only as Secure as its Weakest Link
summary
Argues that transitive open‑source dependencies create hidden attack chains and that simply “throwing tools” at developers fails; recommends SBOM inventorying per US executive order and EU Resilience Act compliance, real‑time monitoring, weekly fire‑drill testing of incident plans, and building DevSecOps champions inside teams. Flags AI code helpers as legal and blindspot risks and notes many vulnerabilities go unnoticed until exploited. Advises measuring security posture, iterating plans, and integrating tool outputs into workflows rather than treating them as checkboxes.
