Open Source Supply Chain Challenges and the Cyber Resiliency Act – Keep Me Out of Jail
Abstract:
The open source development ecosystem faces a growing wave of malicious software infiltrations, with companies increasingly vigilant against software supply chain attacks. Recent findings by Sonatype, a leader in software supply chain management, report over 500,000 new malicious packages across major programming registries like Java, JavaScript, Python, and .NET since November 2023. To address these escalating risks, organizations must strengthen their security policies and practices to keep pace with the rapid evolution of open-source software libraries and ensure compliance under new regulations, such as the Cyber Resiliency Act.
