Operationalizing Software Supply Chain Security with SBOM Integration

Anastasia Tikhonova, Global Threat Research Lead at Group-IB, presented methods to operationalize software supply chain security by integrating Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) into daily practices such as vulnerability triage, vendor access reviews, identity monitoring, and incident response. The discussion referenced Group-IB’s High-Tech Crime Trend Report 2026, which highlights how supply chain attacks now interconnect phishing, ransomware, and data breaches through exploited trust relationships. The content was delivered in a Help Net Security video published on July 10, 2026, focusing on transforming supply chain security from a compliance exercise into a routine operational process. No specific CVEs, technical attack vectors, or quantified impacts were detailed in the provided excerpt.
