Any organization that has taken on the daunting task of securing their software supply chain knows the challenges and pitfalls that come with implementing security best practices. A community-backed framework called SLSA 1.0 provides a comprehensive checklist of security controls and standards, offering practical uses for organizations to secure their software supply chain. Experts from Google and The Linux Foundation will discuss real-world approaches to software supply chain security, common issues, and the first steps an organization can take to improve its security posture. Moderated by Cloudsmith's VP of Product, the session aims to address key topics and provide insights into implementing SLSA 1.0 in a way that is informative, engaging, and relevant to the industry.
