What is the Board-Level Software Supply Chain Security course about?
As software procurement grows more regulated, professionals struggle to translate technical controls into board-relevant governance narratives. Generic security training doesn't address public-sector compliance cycles, multi-vendor integration, or audit readiness under federal frameworks. This creates a gap between technical execution and strategic accountability.
