Levi Lloyd, "Securing the Software Supply Chain"




CERIAS Weekly Security Seminar - Purdue University show

Summary: In December 2020, FireEye discovered a supply chain attack against the SolarWinds Orion network management system.  The impact of this event has caused the cybersecurity community to reevaluate how we think about threats coming from the software supply chain.  At Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory we have been developing software assurance tools for many years to automate the analysis of software to enable asset owners and operators to make sound decisions about the software in their environments.  In this presentation, I will describe this effort, talk about some of our tools, and discuss ways to mitigate future supply chain attacks.
