The authors of this text are world-renowned experts on the topic of software supply chain security, and will share real-world examples of how to defend yourself against attack. Covering topics ranging from the history of the software transparency movement, software bill of materials and high assurance attestations for a rapidly evolving software landscape, this book will focus on the following key software domains: Firmware and embedded software Cloud and connected APIs Industrial Control Systems Internet of Things Federal/Defense Software Supply Chain Initiatives Mobile The software supply chain represents a largely untapped, but increasingly exploited attack vector that reaches everyday citizens in all walks of life from mobile and social networks, to banking and retail, and even the critical infrastructure and defense systems we rely on. This book will cover the background on these topics as well as a description of how we can defend against these threats and an exploration of the use cases and practical guidance that both software consumers and the suppliers that support them can utilize to harden their world.
