Effective software supply chain management could be the difference between a few issues and an overwhelming amount of problems. Reducing security risks, improving the bottom line, boosting morale, and championing innovation–it doesn’t matter whether an organization is small or enormous, a more secure software supply chain helps all of these things become reality.

The State of the Software Supply Chain report exists to help you achieve all of the above. This is the 8th year Sonatype has drawn from proprietary and public data sources to illustrate the challenges many companies face when implementing effective software supply chain management.

We’ll discuss:

• The massive year-on-year increase of open source ingested through software supply chains, as well as persistent security concerns.
• Insights on choosing the best dependencies for your projects.
• A look at what drives developer behavior and recommendations for helping your teams put the best systems in place.
• An examination of enlightened supply chain management and perception versus reality for maturity.
• The status of current and upcoming regulations that change the way we use open source on an international level.
