The concepts of cyber resilience and software supply chain security go hand in hand. It’s heartening that many organizations now recognize the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve and grow more sophisticated and are taking steps to increase their security posture. However, not enough are working on becoming cyber resilient- especially when it comes to software supply chain security.
One reason is that organizations still struggle to understand the risks posed by their vendors and digital supply chains as part of their cybersecurity strategies. Further, the ability to understand/assess cyber threats, mitigate/prevent cyberattacks, and manage/respond to cyberattacks – has remained largely unchanged since 2019.
This is disheartening when you consider that there is at least one known open-source vulnerability in 84% of all code bases. And while AI and machine learning are solid weapons in the battle for cyber defense, they are also being used by threat actors to find and exploit vulnerabilities.
Cyber resilience is vitally important for several reasons. It not only improves an organization’s security posture and reduces exposing critical infrastructure but can help…
