How your software sausage is made: current state of software supply chain security

Presented at Canterbury Hacker Camp (2022), Nov. 25, 2022, 7:40 p.m. (Unknown duration)

You know the term "seeing how the sausage is made"? Well, if you could ACTUALLY see how sausages are made, you'd be impressed.

The same is not true for software security. From headline grabbing breaches like solarwinds, Log4j, Codecov to run-of-the-mill vulnerability management, things are in a sad state.

This talk will also cover current proposed mitigations, like SBOM and asset signing and deploy-time checks.
