The Rise of Software Supply-Chain Attacks - How Secure is Your .NET Application

Explore the evolution and increasing sophistication of software supply-chain attacks in this 57-minute conference talk from NDC Sydney 2020. Trace the history of hacking from early infrastructure exploits to modern DevOps vulnerabilities. Examine how cloud-native approaches and complex application landscapes have expanded the attack surface. Learn to identify and mitigate security issues throughout the software supply chain using a .NET application as an example. Discover the importance of securing development machines, source repositories, and build pipelines. Understand concepts like Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and reproducible builds. Gain insights into protecting your applications from emerging threats in the interconnected world of software development and deployment.
