As businesses increasingly rely on software to operate, the security of the software supply chain becomes more critical. A software supply chain is the process of creating and delivering software, from development to deployment. Insecure software can lead to significant data breaches, financial loss, and...
Software supply chain security is critical to the functioning and safety of all modern-day software. However, with the rapid growth of software development on GitHub, there is an increase in the risk of malware injection. It can cause data theft, system damage, and reputational harm....
Code tampering refers to the unauthorised modification or alteration of source code during software application development, testing, or deployment. This malicious activity can have devastating consequences, from introducing security vulnerabilities to altering the intended behaviour of the software, causing it to fail in unexpected ways. Code tampering...
Modern software development is a complex process that increasingly involves more actors and different components, highlighting the adoption of open source which now accounts for more than 3 billion component downloads in different repositories.

In software development we depend on both own and third-party components or artifacts. A flexible Dependency Management is essential for modern software. Package managers like NPM, Maven, pip or NuGet are often used to specify software dependencies. These tools were designed with convenience and ease-of-use in mind, not security. The problem The problem...
Software technology evolved, and hackers evolved with it. The arms-race with bad actors was mostly restricted to vulnerabilities and attacks directed at the deployed software. Attacking the software supply chain, albeit not unseen, was not the primary target for the bad guys...
