You would be hard-pressed to find a more-discussed topic in the cybersecurity industry in 2022 than the software supply chain. This is for good reason, too, as research and studies have shown that software supply chain incidents are increasing exponentially. While sources such as the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Catalog of Software Supply Chain Attacks show incidents dating back to the early 2000s, research from publications, such as Usenix, shows a tremendous uptick in software supply chain attacks.
