A recent report from Synopsys Software Integrity Group and Ponemon Institute reveals that 54% of global organizations suffered software supply chain attacks in the past year.

Many struggle to detect and respond, with 50% taking over a month to react. AI usage in code generation is prevalent, yet only 32% evaluate AI-generated code for risks.

Alarmingly, only 39% of leaders are committed to reducing software supply chain risks, and resources are often insufficient. Notably, just 35% of organizations implement Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs), critical for security.

Open source vulnerabilities are high, with 65% using it but less than half securing it effectively.
