Open-Source Solutions: Transforming Federal Supply Chain Security

The Federal Government relies heavily on a myriad of products and services for critical functions. However, the global supply chain for these technologies faces relentless threats from nation-state and criminal actors, who seek to steal sensitive information, intellectual property, and disrupt the Government’s ability to provide secure services to the public. In response, OMB and NIST have provided guidance, such as memo 22-18 titled 'Enhancing the Security of the Software Supply Chain through Secure Software Development Practices,' outlining steps to ensure software producers adhere to secure development practices. While this guidance primarily targets federal agencies and their software providers, widespread industry adoption could potentially prevent catastrophic cyberattacks on the global supply chain.
