Summary

The recent PulseMeter Report highlights concerns over software supply chain attacks and the need for organizations to detect and deter such threats. The report shows that 78% of respondents are worried about software supply chain attacks, with many already using software bill of materials (SBOMs) to identify potential vulnerabilities. However, SBOMs alone are not enough, and a joint effort between security and development teams is necessary to secure code. The report also emphasizes the importance of open source security, particularly in manual processes, where automated SBOM-generating technology can provide improved vulnerability tracking. Ultimately, securing software supply chain requires a dynamic approach at all stages, from component integration to deployment.
