Archived: Supply Chain Security Snags: How to Solve Your Sourcing, SBOM & Scope Struggles

On-Demand Webcast|1 Hour

The executive order issued by the White House last year calls for more robust software supply chain protections for federal agencies. Meanwhile, companies are also taking steps toward securing their supply chains. And they are now facing many of the same struggles that government bodies have endured while attempting to adhere to the executive order. So what are the challenges? They include: 

  • improving visibility into the global partners from which you’re sourcing components 
  • instituting and operationalizing software bills of materials (SBOMs)  
  • establishing the required scope of your supply chain security program 
  • determining what your testing procedures will entail 

Join us as Tim Mackey, principal security strategist at Synopsys, offers inside analysis into the U.S. government’s foray into supply chain security. He will then reveal what lessons businesses can apply toward their own efforts in this space.
