Insight #1

"It’s a great time to go through a tabletop exercise to make sure all your incident response, disaster recovery, and business continuity plans are intact and functioning. When was your last exercise?"
 

Insight #2

"Third-party attestations are a very important part of the security posture of an organization. If you aren’t doing this today, please consider it in the near future."
 

Insight #3

"There are really three ways to create an SBOM; using metadata, using a call tree, and during runtime. The most accurate and real representation of what third-party libraries your application is using is during runtime. How are you generating your SBOMs?"
