Top 10 Most Common Software Supply Chain Risk Factors
Imagine a world where a single line of code, tucked away in a common library or framework, could bring your entire digital world to a screeching
Gartner specialists believe that by 2025, nearly half (45%) of organizations worldwide will have experienced attacks on their software supply chains, a three-fold increase from 2021. A recently published report by Gartner experts outlines the evolving risks to software development supply chains and proposes best practices for software procurement, development, and delivery life cycle security.
Secrets and credentials should never be stored in source code repositories, but software engineers can accidentally commit secrets to source control. Since any user who has access to the repository can clone the repository and store it anywhere, the cloned repository becomes a treasure trove for attackers looking to steal credentials, API keys or secrets. We recommend continuous scanning of repositories to check for files embedded with secrets.
