Dissertation Proposal Defended

Posted by Dr. Hastings · in , · ,

I defended my dissertation proposal at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. My research focuses on supply chain security threats in open source software.

We are heading for a perfect storm, making open source software poisoning and next-generation supply chain attacks much easier to execute, which could have major implications for organizational security postures.

99% of modern software contains open source components, and supply chain attacks have increased 430% annually according to Sonatype.
