White House rolls out pipeline, supply chain security initiatives as companies pledge billions in cyber spending - CyberScoop
It's important to understand that the software supply chain consists of two distinct phases, that must be secured:
- Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) supply chain activities, performed by a software vendor
- Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM) activities, performed by software consumers
The activities performed during each phase are distinctly different and the evidence data produced during each phase is also very different.
Next Tuesday, 8/31, I will be presenting an overview of phase 2 activities, performed by software consumers, to NPCC TFIST, describing best practices to perform software verification for NERC CIP-010-3 requirements.
The software supply chain is, perhaps, our weakest link, when it comes to securing our digital ecosystems across critical infrastructure. These steps taken by the Biden Administration, and the industry leaders that committed to improving protections against cyber threats, is the first step in a long journey - that we must take to stop ransomware and other harmful software from being installed. We cannot secure the software supply chain without the combination of SBOM's and commercially available C-SCRM solutions that process SBOM's.
Never trust software, always verify and report!™
