The new CIO security priority: Your software supply chain

To improve software security, organizations are recommended to use systems that enhance integrity and trust verification, like Sigstore, used by JavaScript, Java, Kubernetes, and Python. Protecting software delivery pipelines, maintaining updated knowledge about software components, and understanding community support behind open-source software is crucial. CIOs also need to monitor security in their technology stack and contribute to the upkeep of open-source platforms. Automated scanning tools and control systems like GitHub and GitLab can identify malicious codes, although these require careful implementation.
