Modern DevOps practices rely on fast, automated CI/CD pipelines—but with speed comes risk. The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) has identified the top 10 security risks that threaten software supply chains, exposing organizations to breaches, malware, and compliance failures. In this guide, Cloudsmith explores how these security risks impact CI/CD workflows and how artifact management is a critical defense strategy to secure your software supply chain.
