PRODUCT ENGINEERING TEAMS MUST OWN SUPPLY CHAIN RISK

Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter

Modern software products are assembled from various third-party components, creating a complex "software supply chain" that is an easy target for attacks due to historically implicit trust. This vulnerability leads to risks like credential theft and widespread compromise, negatively impacting product outcomes, customer trust, and business revenue. The solution is to make trust explicit and verifiable using cryptographic attestations and frameworks to prove the origin and integrity of dependencies.
