In the race to secure today’s ever-expanding attack surface, many companies have made a practice of using a mix of tools to monitor, assess, and remediate threats. This practice has resulted in a fragmented and chaotic landscape of security solutions across several teams, increasing complexity and forcing companies to have a reactive vs. proactive security posture.

From customer-facing applications to internal systems, your businesses run on code. As CISOs, you may know that this reliance comes with a growing, complex challenge: securing the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) from end to end, especially against the insidious threat of software supply chain attacks.

Originally published: April 2023 Updated: September 2025 Supply chain attacks are a growing and increasingly sophisticated form of cyber threat. They target the complex network of relationships between organizations and their suppliers, vendors, and third-party service providers. These attacks exploit vulnerabilities that emerge due to the interconnected nature of digital supply chains, which often span multiple organizations, systems, and geographies.

OWASP AppSecDays France 2025 explored supply chain trust, CI/CD as the new perimeter and passkeys, showing how shared guardrails make secure delivery possible.

LevelBlue’s newly released 2025 Spotlight Report: Cyber Resilience and Business Impact in Manufacturing, uncovered the different ways this sector has increased its understanding of the role cybersecurity must play moving forward, including the need to adopt a more proactive security posture to increase resilience and improve its defense mechanisms to combat AI-powered attacks.

Managing a cybersecurity program is hard, but also very meaningful, work. Continuously managing the cybersecurity posture of your organization’s supply chain vendors can at times feel near impossible, afterall ensuring the cybersecurity of your suppliers is an order of magnitude leap in difficulty. Yet, criminals are demonstrating that despite these difficulties, this task requires our immediate attention, given the trending success in exploiting our businesses' trusted relationships.
