- · Software developers
- · National security agencies
- · Cyber-criminal organizations
- · Developer tools vendors with weak security
- · Organizations relying on vulnerable software supply chains
Increased focus on developer-targeted cybersecurity measures and supply chain integrity will likely follow.
This may lead to new regulatory standards for software development security and mandatory vulnerability disclosure.
A potential 'arms race' could ensue, with attackers developing even more evasive tactics, requiring continuous innovation in defensive capabilities.
