Supply chain is emerging as the next frontier of threats in the rapidly evolving IoT ecosystem. It is fundamentally more complex compared to traditional ICT systems. We analyze supply chain risks in IoT systems and their unique aspects,…
Software vulnerabilities remain a significant risk factor in achieving security objectives within software development organizations. This is especially true where either proprietary or open-source software (OSS) is included in the…
Many open source software (OSS) projects need more human resources for maintenance, improvements, and sometimes even their survival. These needs allegedly apply even to vital OSS projects that can be seen as being a part of the world's…
Software development industries are increasingly adopting containers to enhance the scalability and flexibility of software applications. Security in containerized projects is a critical challenge that can lead to data breaches and…
Secure software is a cornerstone to safe and resilient digital ecosystems. It offers strong foundation to protect users' sensitive data and guard against cyber-threats. The rapidly increasing landscape of digital economy has encouraged…
Using open-source dependencies is essential in modern software development. However, this practice implies significant trust in third-party code, while there is little support for developers to assess this trust. As a consequence, attacks…
Safety-critical software systems are those whose failure or malfunction could result in casualty and/or serious financial loss. In such systems, safety assurance cases (SACs) are an emerging approach that adopts a proactive strategy to…
Software supply chain attacks have revealed blind spots in existing SCA tools, which are often limited to a single ecosystem and assess either software artifacts or community activity in isolation. This fragmentation across tools and…
Outdated software remains a potent and underappreciated menace in 2025's cybersecurity environment, exposing systems to a broad array of threats, including ransomware, data breaches, and operational outages that can have devastating and…
Large Language Model (LLM) is changing the software development paradigm and has gained huge attention from both academia and industry. Researchers and developers collaboratively explore how to leverage the powerful problem-solving ability…
The use of free and open source software (FOSS) components in all software systems is estimated to be above 90%. With such high usage and because of the heterogeneity of FOSS tools, repositories, developers and ecosystem, the level of…
The interest in autonomous vehicles (AVs) for critical missions, including transportation, rescue, surveillance, reconnaissance, and mapping, is growing rapidly due to their significant safety and mobility benefits. AVs consist of complex…
Advanced software supply chain (SSC) attacks are increasingly runtime-only and leave fragmented evidence across hosts, services, and build/dependency layers, so any single telemetry stream is inherently insufficient to reconstruct full…
In today's digitally interconnected world, cybersecurity threats have reached unprecedented levels, presenting a pressing concern for individuals, organizations, and governments. This study employs a qualitative research approach to…
Awareness of cybersecurity topics facilitates software developers to produce secure code. This awareness is especially important in industrial environments for the products and services in critical infrastructures. In this work, we address…
The intersection between security and continuous software engineering has been of great interest since the early years of the agile development movement, and it remains relevant as software development processes are more frequently guided…
Information protection is becoming a focal point for designing, creating and implementing software applications within highly integrated technology environments. The use of a safe coding technique in the software development process is…
Achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) demands adequate levels of awareness and actions to address sustainability challenges. Software systems will play an important role in moving towards these targets. Sustainability skills…
Security is increasingly more important in designing chips and systems based on them, and the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), the leading conference for presenting advances in solid-state circuits and semiconductor…
In this research paper of secure software systems, authors have discussed what the proper development process is when it comes to creating a secure software, which will be suited for developers and relevent stakeholders alike. Secure…
