Security Magazine reported more than 2,200 daily cyberattacks, which translates to roughly one cyberattack occurring every 39 seconds! As these stakes in cybersecurity continue to reach higher and higher levels, it becomes even more crucial to emphasize securing the very bedrock of elements upon which our digital existence is built.
The modern threat landscape is constantly changing and the software supply chain has become a common target for cybercriminals. Cyberthreats have become a headache for overworked developers and DevOps teams as they face tight deadlines, limited staffing resources and the added burden of ensuring that their code does only what it is intended to do and is free of bugs and malware.
Zero-days are out there. Lurking just under the surface, waiting for the right moment to strike. A security team can do everything right and still experience a zero-day attack in its supply chain.

Most enterprises' critical infrastructure and operational pipelines rely on an intricate web of software, online services, and cloud applications. This level of complexity makes supply chain risk management one of (if not the) biggest challenges for CISOs today. Today, malicious actors choose to exploit software supply chain vulnerabilities rather than just target end users. These SSC attacks have caused some of the most notable cybersecurity incidents and data breaches in recent years.
Typosquatting and dependency confusion are two common tactics used by hackers to exploit open-source package repositories. Understand how these attacks work and discover preventive measures to secure your infrastructure.
