What is the Production-Grade Supply-Chain Security course about?
Traditional compliance frameworks struggle to keep pace with distributed software supply chains. Manual audits, inconsistent vendor attestations, and lack of integration with engineering workflows create delays, increase exposure, and reduce board-level confidence. Practitioners need modern, scalable methods that align with current development and procurement rhythms.
