The Invisible Risk: Exposing Software Supply Chain Blind Spots in Government

State and local governments are modernizing faster than ever — adopting cloud-native applications, open-source software containers, and third-party components to deliver services at speed.

But with that acceleration comes a growing, often unseen risk: software supply chain blind spots.

Many agencies know the supply chain is a concern. Yet few can clearly see where their most serious vulnerabilities actually live. Hidden dependencies, outdated components, implied trust and limited insight into open source software are quietly expanding the attack surface, even in organizations with mature security programs.

Join experts from the Center for Digital Government and Chainguard for a timely, eye-opening webinar that makes these invisible risks visible — and shows what government leaders can do about them.

You’ll learn:

• Why software supply chain risk has become one of the most under-addressed threats in government IT — despite growing awareness
• How modernization itself creates blind spots
• How SBOMs, explicit trust, and prevention at the source change the security equation
• What questions agencies should be asking vendors and partners right now
