While quantum computing is years away from practical deployment, it will pose a major threat to software supply chain security, and now is the time for security teams to prepare for that. A significant step was recently taken in spurring preparedness when the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) introduced its principal set of encryption algorithms designed to withstand attacks from a quantum computer.
A critical driver of growth will be alternative payment methods (APMs), such as digital wallets, account-to-account payments, and buy-now-pay-later, which will spur e-commerce growth in the world's emerging markets.
Visibility into the software that organizations and their suppliers use has become a cornerstone of supply chain security. That's the bottom line from a recent panel discussion among experts at a webinar sponsored by the IT GRC Forum, which focuses on governance, risk management, and compliance.

While surprise is a major advantage in battle, it's a nightmare for application security (AppSec) teams. That's why they turn to chaos engineering. It introduces controlled failures into systems to identify vulnerabilities and build up the organization's resiliency. Simulating real-world attacks and disruptions lowers the risk of surprise, addresses potential weaknesses before they're exploited, and makes critical applications more reliable.
