In this episode of The Secure Developer, we delve into the subject of supply chain security across various ecosystems and languages, guided by industry experts Liran Tal and Roy Ram from Snyk. Liran is the Director of Developer Advocacy at Snyk and has a background working particularly in Node.js and JavaScript. Roy is a Senior Product Manager serving as part of the product team for Snyk Code, and has a background in cybersecurity and a solid understanding of C++. With a 20-year background in Java, host Simon Maple moderates the conversation. We discuss the challenges and differences between ecosystems, such as the use of third-party libraries and issues with typosquatting and malicious packages. We also talk about the volume of dependencies that each of our ecosystems pull in, whether you should stay on the latest version or pin to a version, and the importance of software bill of materials (SBOMs).
