Overview
Modern software relies on a complex web of third-party components, open-source libraries, and multinational hardware providers. This course explores the inherent risks of the supply chain, examining how upstream modifications propagate through your infrastructure. You will analyze real-world failures, such as the colors.js incident, to understand how automated updates and unvetted dependencies can lead to espionage, data theft, and catastrophic system disruption.
You will gain a deep understanding of the supply chain lifecycle, from proof-of-concept development to the integration of COTS software. The course covers strategies for managing component-based engineering and evaluating hidden security properties. You will learn to implement robust management procedures, including SBOM usage and supplier risk programs, to secure your digital assets.
