In April 2019, I was invited to host a panel at the International Conference on Cyber Engagement in Washington DC, to discuss "Securing the Software Supply Chain". On the panel were four of the top voices in software supply chain management: - Edna Conway, Chief Security Officer, Global Value Chain, at CISCO - Joyce Corell, Assistant Director, Supply Chain and Cyber Directorate, National Counterintelligence and Security Center, US Office of the Director of National Intelligence - Bob Kolasky, Director, National Risk Management Center, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, US Department of Homeland Security - Dr. Suzanne Schwartz, Associate Director for Science & Strategic Partnerships, Center for Devices & Radiological Health, US Food & Drug Administration This episode of the DevSecOps Podcast is the full session from the conference. It is an extended session, running an hour and a half, significantly longer that our usual broadcast. I think you'll find it worth the time. Thank you to the ICCE for allowing rebroadcast of the panel. Pull up a chair, sit back, and listen in as we discuss Securing the Software Supply Chain.
If you’ve never thought of your digital value chain as a delicious lasagna, you should. That’s what Edna Conway, chief security officer for Cisco’s global value chain, explains in the latest Privacy Sigma Riders podcast. Hear about the new model of security in a digital value chain, where you’re only as good as the sum of your third-party ecosystem. In this model, trust is currency, and hyper-connectivity includes ethics and human behavior along with data and technology.
Unusual Gathering | Episode XXII Conversations At The Intersection Of IT Security And Society Guests Edna Conway, Cisco | John Felker, DHS Hosts Sean Martin | Marco Ciappelli This episode: What Could Ever Go Wrong With An Industrial Control System? The concept of trust has been one of the core pillars in any information security program; it remains — perhaps becomes even more relevant — when we cross over from IT to OT and from IT to IoT to IIoT. In today’s Unusual Gathering, we discuss the idea that trust is paramount in this new world we live in. But how do you establish trust and what does trust even look like? What are the systems and devices? Who is in the ecosystem? And what are you allowing them to do with your data? The responsibility surrounding this need to educate doesn’t sit squarely on the shoulders of one person; it is everyone’s responsibility, from citizens, to government, to schools, to the manufacturers of these products and services.

Organizations “are concerned about the risks associated with information and communications technology (ICT) products and services that may contain potentially malicious functionality, are counterfeit, or are vulnerable due to poor manufacturing and development practices within the ICT supply chain. These risks are associated with the organizations’ decreased visibility into, understanding of, and control over how the technology that they acquire is developed, integrated and deployed, as well as the processes, procedures, and practices used to assure the integrity, security, resilience, and quality of the products and services.” In this podcast, Edna Conway, Chief Security Officer, Global Value Chain and Cisco, and John Haller, a member of the CERT Cyber Assurance team, discuss the global value chain for organizations and critical infrastructures and how this expanded view can be used to improve ICT supply chain management, including risks to the supply chain.
