Secure Software Development in the U.S. Government Agencies: Issues, Challenges and Next Steps

Executive Order 14028, Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity, is focused on strengthening protections for critical software used by government agencies. It identifies key requirements designed to better protect government systems from malicious threats. It also includes specific language related to secure software development and supply chain security. In response, NIST has published NIST SP 800-218, which provides recommendations for software security.   Join our panel as we discuss the people, processes and technology that impacts these new software security requirements. We’ll also explore software security across the development lifecycle, where opportunities for automation exist, and challenges to anticipate from both a supply and consumption perspective.
