Discover the new cybersecurity landscape of the interconnected software supply chain.

In Software Transparency: Supply Chain Security in an Era of a Software-Driven Society, a team of veteran information security professionals delivers an expert treatment of software supply chain security. In the book, you’ll explore real-world examples and guidance on how to defend your own organisation against internal and external attacks. It includes coverage of topics including the history of the software transparency movement, software bills of materials, and high assurance attestations.

The authors examine the background of attack vectors that are becoming increasingly vulnerable, like mobile and social networks, retail and banking systems, and infrastructure and defence systems. You’ll also discover:

  • Use cases and practical guidance for both software consumers and suppliers.
  • Discussions of firmware and embedded software, as well as cloud and connected APIs.
  • Strategies for understanding federal and defence software supply chain initiatives related to security.

An essential resource for cybersecurity and application security professionals, Software Transparency will also be of extraordinary benefit to industrial control system, cloud, and mobile security professionals.
