Supervisory Control Data Acquisition Systems (SCADA) communicate with industrial control systems (ICS) to provide manufacturers monitoring and analysis in real-time.

Earlier today, CVE-2019-5736 was announced regarding a runC container breakout. Given the high CVSS rating of 7.2, it is imperative to quickly patch your systems.

So how do you marshal the resources that you need to implement effective supply chain security? Borrowing from the same motivation techniques that we use to keep ourselves going to the gym, I recommend a combination of sex appeal (highlighting attractive benefits), pain avoidance (highlighting the painful risks) and recruiting allies (finding support within and outside of your organization).

Many organizations expand their operations by adding offices in remote locations. This strategy helps growing teams tap into new markets, operate in local time zones, and accommodate local nuances to provide better, localized service.
