Founded by Julian Calvo, Ed.D., M.S.
Supply chain security protects the integrity of products, software, and services throughout their entire lifecycle, from development through delivery and deployment. It addresses risks like compromised software updates, counterfeit hardware, and malicious code injected during development. The SolarWinds and Log4j incidents demonstrated how supply chain attacks can affect thousands of organizations simultaneously.
Supply chain attacks are among the most damaging cybersecurity threats because they exploit trusted relationships. Organizations need professionals who can assess supply chain risks, implement software bill of materials (SBOM) practices, and verify the integrity of third-party components. This specialty sits at the intersection of GRC, security engineering, and threat intelligence.
