API World + CloudX + Dev Innovation Summit 2024

Richard Clark, JFrog, Senior Solutions Architect

As supply chain attacks continue to evolve and proliferate, there is a critical need for organizations to fortify their defenses. Especially with the ever growing usage of open source technology in today’s software landscape, open source vulnerabilities have become a prime target for attackers seeking widespread impact. In this session, Richard Clark, Senior Solutions Architect at JFrog will emphasize the importance of proactive measures, including educating developers to use reputable tools, and adopting software composition analysis to safeguard against the growing menace of supply chain vulnerabilities.

In this session, Richard will also discuss:
How software bills of materials or SBOM standards, such as CycloneDX and SPDX, enhance visibility into software dependencies;
The rapid adoption of faster release cycles in business operations and how it heightens vulnerabilities in supply chain management;
The importance of collaboration between security teams and developers.
