Advanced Cyber security breach techniques by nation states were wildly successful over the past year across Federal organizations. Thus, a new attack surface within the software supply chain has been exposed and is driving new requirements and shifting the focus of cyber protection across government, critical infrastructure industries, and open source/commercial software producers.
In response, President Biden has issued an executive order for improving cyber security, and recently OMB and CISA have recently introduced follow-on guidance for public comment. Both government agencies and software technology companies worldwide are implementing changes to how they are performing application development to reduce their risks for potential security breaches.
Please join MFGS, Inc. for a discussion on software supply chain risk management (SMRC), what dangers lurk, and how we can better protect ourselves against this advancing threat. We’ll cover insights into:
• Recent real-world attacks and exploits
• Supply chain attack vectors
• Unique Government Software SCRM challenges
• General strategies and controls to manage and lessen risks
• Applying application security controls in your SCRM efforts
Please join us as we work together to protect our software, intellectual property, and secrets from this rising threat.
