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).
