What is the SLSA for Secure Software Supply Chains course about?

As no-code and AI-generated apps spread, the line between developer and deployer blurs. Without formalized safeguards, organizations inherit hidden risks in every new tool. The pressure isn’t just to deliver fast, it’s to deliver with integrity. Practitioners who can reconcile speed with auditability are now the most trusted collaborators across engineering and compliance.
