Understanding the risks of the software supply chain

The rise in open-source software (OSS) adoption has accelerated development but introduced new supply chain risks, such as security vulnerabilities and licensing issues. High-profile breaches like SolarWinds and Kaseya highlight the severity of these attacks, expected to quadruple in 2021.

This white paper addresses the challenges of managing third-party software risk, noting that traditional testing tools often produce high false-positive rates, hindering development and causing friction between security and development teams. It highlights how attackers exploit OSS vulnerabilities.

To mitigate these risks, the paper suggests modern security testing with runtime evaluation. Read for strategies.
