The importance of understanding and complying with regulations affecting digital supply chains, such as Executive Order 14028 and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. The podcast highlighted the impact of EU regulations, like CRA, GDPR, and DORA, on global businesses, underscoring the shared responsibility model in data security. Vendors’ duties in open-source security and software vulnerability management were discussed, with a call for automation in software inventory and security, including the use of SBOMs. The conversation included strategies for effective supply chain risk management, advising regular updates, and understanding the interconnectedness of vulnerabilities. International compliance, particularly with EU data security laws, presents operational challenges and necessitates robust cybersecurity measures. Proactive vendor communication and automated processes are crucial for managing cybersecurity threats efficiently. Continuous risk assessment is preferred over periodic checks, with an emphasis on a nuanced approach to cybersecurity risk management.
