The software supply chain refers to the collection of all components, tools, and processes involved in the development and delivery of software. This includes third-party libraries, development environments, build systems, and distribution channels. Ensuring the security and integrity of this chain is vital to prevent the introduction of malicious code or vulnerabilities into final products.
Context
The security of the software supply chain has gained significant prominence as a critical concern, particularly in sectors reliant on complex digital infrastructure like cryptocurrency. Debates frequently center on supply chain attacks, dependency vulnerabilities, and the implementation of robust security measures throughout the development lifecycle. Future developments will likely focus on enhancing transparency and verifiability within these complex chains.
