PRODUCT ENGINEERING TEAMS MUST OWN SUPPLY CHAIN RISK

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Modern software is assembled from third-party services, open-source packages, and CI/CD tooling, turning the supply chain into a primary attack surface rather than a background detail. Attacks like malicious dependency updates exploit implicit trust in external code and can silently compromise products, credentials, and customer data at scale. Product teams must treat supply chain integrity as a top priority, using provenance, cryptographic attestations, and the SLSA framework to verify where software comes from and how it was built.
