Software supply chains are now the backbone of almost every application. Open source dependencies, build pipelines, and automation enable speed and innovation, but at the same time open up new areas of vulnerability. Attacks on popular npm, PyPI, or Maven packages make it clear that a single compromised artifact can have far-reaching consequences.

This presentation is not about security as a downstream testing process, but about security by design – from the first line of code to productive delivery. Under the motto “Shift Left, Done Right,” we will show how security can be firmly integrated into modern development processes without sacrificing speed or developer satisfaction.

Using a concrete, practical scenario, participants will learn how DevOps workflows, automated security scans, software bills of materials (SBOMs), and signed artifacts become natural parts of everyday development. The focus is not only on tools, but also on clear principles, responsibilities, and collaboration between development, operations, and security.

The presentation is aimed at anyone who is not only asking themselves, “What do we need to do to become more secure?” but above all, “How do we implement it correctly?” – pragmatically, scalably, and realistically. The goal is to show how resilient software supply chains are created that understand security as an enabler for sustainable innovation.
