Jul 9, 2025 By Theresa Lanowitz In LevelBlue
Software complexity is increasing at unprecedented levels. The average software supply chain now contains artifacts from open-source repositories, internally developed code, software developed by third-parties, and commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software.

Jun 9, 2025 By Shanika Wickramasinghe In Splunk
Key takeaways Most modern software isn’t built from scratch. It’s assembled from dozens, sometimes hundreds, of external components like open-source libraries, third-party APIs, CI/CD tools, build scripts, and deployment pipelines.
