Understanding the code powering one’s services and products has always been critical to the security, reliability, and reputation of that company. There is now a renewed interest around understanding the software supply chain and bill of materials, thanks to the Biden Administration’s [Executive Order](https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/05/12/executive-order-on-improving-the-nations-cybersecurity/?utm_source=tfir&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=influencer), which [Dennis Zimmer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/denniszimmer/), CTO of [Codenotary](https://Codenotary.com/?utm_source=tfir&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=influencer), believes will make the software supply chain and bill of materials a global phenomenon. But what exactly is the software supply chain, what is the bill of materials and why does it matter to any company that offers software-based products and services? Here is an in-depth discussion on the topic with Zimmer. I hope you will enjoy the show.

Here are some of the topics we covered in this show:

- What does Codemotary do?
- What is the software supply chain and bill of materials?
- Risks of not understanding your software supply chain?
