Workshop Abstract

Software supply chain security is a critical aspect of modern cybersecurity, focusing on protecting all components and processes involved in software development and deployment. Ensuring the integrity, authenticity and security of software throughout its lifecycle, from development to distribution and implementation, is essential. This Special Topic Workshop aims to deepen the understanding of the challenges and to identify enhanced strategies for securing software supply chains against arising threats using emerging technologies such as, for example, Large Language Models (LLMs). 

It is expected that the topics identified by the workshop discussions will allow the CAE-R community in particular and the cybersecurity research community at large to collaborate in advancing the current state of software supply chain security.
