Abstract

Software Supply Chain is emerging as one of the biggest issues that enterprises are facing these days. SolarWinds, Kaseya, 3CX, the examples are way too many. These attacks rapidly multiplied in 2022.

In this presentation, we will discuss the trending of software supply chain issues, the federal mandates in the form of executive orders that are impacting this space, emerging best practices and what is the fundamental tech stack to manage these issues, and lastly, what does a good supply chain security program looks like.

Dr. Singh will also briefly discuss his journey from being a student at Purdue (MS, Computer Science) to his current role as Chief Information Security Officer of Alkami Technology.
