Managing and securing the software supply chain is increasingly challenging in a rapidly evolving technological landscape, particularly in a post-AI world. JFrog's third annual Software Supply Chain State of the Union Report highlights key trends and insights, emphasizing the growing size and complexity of software supply chains and the persistent rise in security vulnerabilities, such as CVEs. The report reveals that many organizations are adopting new technologies swiftly, including AI, but are also facing heightened risks due to open-source ecosystem expansion and the use of multiple programming languages. It stresses the importance of not overlooking security basics, the need for artifact management solutions to mitigate risks, and the challenges in governing machine learning model usage. Although the pace of change can increase organizational risk, implementing smart tools and processes can help organizations leverage the diverse software ecosystem to gain a competitive edge. For comprehensive analysis and practical security tips, the full report is available for download, along with an upcoming webinar to discuss the findings in detail.
