You might think of Star Wars as a movie reserved for geeks, but what if I told you that there are deep life lessons that can be applied to developer security practices? Get your lightsaber ready and prepare to dive into JavaScript security! Star Wars is an epic space-based film series written and directed by George Lucas that often needs no introduction.

Securing modern-day production systems is expensive and complex. Teams often need to implement extensive measures, such as secure coding practices, security testing, periodic vulnerability scans and penetration tests, and protections at the network edge. Even when organizations have the resources to deploy these solutions, they still struggle to keep pace with software teams, especially as they accelerate their release cycles and migrate to distributed systems and microservices.

Emerging government regulations have driven the advancement of standards for securing software supply chains. The production of a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) in a standard format is an increasing audit and compliance need for large organizations.
