Gartner MQ for Software Supply Chain Security
Software powers most critical infrastructure today. Therefore, a lack of understanding of who built the software, how it was built and what its ingredients are poses a danger not only to businesses but also to society at large. Software engineering teams can use SSCS tools to automate the enforcement of security and compliance policies and meet regulatory and government mandates.”
