In an era where digital infrastructure underpins nearly every aspect of our lives, from banking, automotive to healthcare, the integrity of our software supply chain has never been more critical. Recent data from cybersecurity experts paints a stark picture: software supply chain attacks are occurring at an alarming rate of one every two days in 2024. This surge in attacks, targeting U.S. companies and IT providers most frequently, poses a severe threat to national security and economic stability.

A critical software supply chain vulnerability was recently averted when security researcher Adnan Khan uncovered a severe flaw in the GitHub repository Puppet Forge in early July 2024.
