Open Source Supply Chain: Modern Approaches for Modern Problems
Abstract
There are a number of new supply chain attacks that are becoming more prevalent within the software industry. In this talk, we will briefly discuss a high-level understanding of what a supply chain attack looks likes within a software organisation, and then we will drill down into specific examples of attacks, and ways to prevent them. Among the types of attacks, we will cover are dependency confusion, typosquatting, artefact repository poisoning, and manifest attacks. This talk will provide examples of each type of attack, as well as best practices for identifying and preventing these types of attacks from happening in your own organisation.
