Trillions of lines of code help us in our lives, companies, and organizations. But just a single software cybersecurity vulnerability can stop entire companies from doing business and cause billions of dollars in revenue loss and business recovery. Securing the creation and deployment of software, also known as software supply chain security, goes well beyond the software development process. This practical book gives you a comprehensive look at security risks and identifies the practical controls you need to incorporate into your end-to-end software supply chain. Author Cassie Crossley demonstrates how and why everyone involved in the supply chain needs to participate if your organization is to improve the security posture of its software, firmware, and hardware. With this book, you'll learn how to: Pinpoint the cybersecurity risks in each part of your organization's software supply chain Identify the roles that participate in the supply chain—including IT, development, operations, manufacturing, and procurement Design initiatives and controls for each part of the supply chain using existing frameworks and references Implement secure development lifecycle, source code security, software build management, and software transparency practices Evaluate third-party risk in your supply chain

Can a system be considered truly reliable if it isn't fundamentally secure? Or can it be considered secure if it's unreliable? Security is crucial to the design and operation of scalable systems in production, as it plays an important part in product quality, performance, and availability. In this book, experts from Google share best practices to help your organization design scalable and reliable systems that are fundamentally secure. Two previous O’Reilly books from Google—Site Reliability Engineering and The Site Reliability Workbook—demonstrated how and why a commitment to the entire service lifecycle enables organizations to successfully build, deploy, monitor, and maintain software systems. In this latest guide, the authors offer insights into system design, implementation, and maintenance from practitioners who specialize in security and reliability. They also discuss how building and adopting their recommended best practices requires a culture that’s supportive of such change. You’ll learn about secure and reliable systems through: Design strategies Recommendations for coding, testing, and debugging practices Strategies to prepare for, respond to, and recover from incidents Cultural best practices that help teams across your organization collaborate effectively

Given the threats, software supply chain security poses an urgent problem to policy makers. In this analysis, we develop a toolbox that combines diverse instruments with targeted government action to be practical guidance for policy makers. This toolbox approach has the advantage that policy makers can choose instruments suited to their respective positions, considering, for example, available resources and capabilities. After reviewing the instruments and the possibilities for government action, we have compiled three sets of policy priorities that policy makers should focus on, providing three levels of ambition that cater to different national venture points.
