This week on the podcast, we cover a software supply chain attack years in the making that was days away from a devastating global impact. After that, we cover Facebook's Project Ghostbusters and its impact on user privacy before ending with another software supply chain attack that successfully compromised developers in the gaming world. The 443 Security Simplified is a weekly podcast that gets inside the minds of leading white-hat hackers and security researchers, covering the latest cybersecurity headlines and trends.

Understanding our supply chain means understanding all the components that make it. But this is harder than it appears. Open-source components make up 80 - 90% of our application's source code, but we must also remember that our open-source components are also made from open-source components, it's like supply chain inception. SCA or Software Composition Analysis is a security tool that looks at your entire supply chain and outlines vulnerabilities, including transitive or downstream dependencies.

In this video, we delve into the intricate web of organizational supply chains and the heightened complexities they bring to the realm of cybersecurity. With the interconnected nature of modern businesses, from retailers to manufacturers to insurers, the reliance on numerous other entities introduces a myriad of potential vulnerabilities. Join us as we explore the evolving landscape of malicious activities and data breaches, highlighting the exponential growth in complexity over the past two decades.
