Supply chain Deep Dive

📊 Level: Intermediate
⏱️ Duration: 2 Days
🏷️ Track: DevSecOps
📋 Prerequisites: DevSecOps foundations
🖥️ Mode: Online Instructor-Led
📝 Course Description

RCCE students will learn software and hardware supply chain security including vendor risk assessment, third-party code analysis, dependency management, build pipeline integrity, and supply chain attack detection. RCCE students will learn to evaluate supply chain risks across software development lifecycles, implement software bill of materials (SBOM) practices, verify code signing and artifact integrity, detect compromised dependencies and malicious packages, configure dependency scanning in CI/CD pipelines, assess vendor security posture, and respond to supply chain compromise incidents such as dependency confusion, typosquatting, and upstream repository attacks. This deep-dive course provides comprehensive technical coverage that goes beyond surface-level understanding. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn to master the nuances, edge cases, and advanced configurations that separate competent practitioners from true experts. Students will engage with complex real-world scenarios and gain the depth of knowledge required to troubleshoot difficult situations, mentor junior team members, and make architectural decisions with confidence.
