SupplyChainSecurityCon 2022

Lately everyone is talking about software supply chain security. There are many different angles and messages along with an abundance of concepts and acronyms to absorb: SBOM, SLSA, SSDF, vulnerability management, Sigstore, and reproducibility to name a few. It’s hard to know which tasks are most important when starting on a supply chain security journey. What if we discussed supply chain security in the context of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs? Just like Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs teaches us, there are certain needs that must be met first. The needs at the bottom are less complex than the needs at the top. The software supply chain is no different. When we work to incorporate supply chain security into our organizations and projects the approach needs to be incremental change, there is no way we can do everything at once. Every organization is different and trying to decide what to do first can be a paralyzing decision. This session will present a new way to think about supply chain security that turns what appears to be an insurmountable challenge into clear steps. Attendees will learn how to simplify and prioritize supply chain security. Armed with that knowledge, attendees can create an action plan to make complex decisions around supply chain management.
