Doug White sits down with Theresa Lanowitz, Chief Evangelist at LevelBlue, for a powerful and timely conversation about one of cybersecurity’s most pressing threats: the software supply chain. Theresa shares fresh insights from LevelBlue’s global research involving 1,500 cybersecurity professionals across 16 countries. Together, they unpack the real-world risks of software acquisition in the API economy, the explosive growth of AI-generated code, and the rise of “vibe coding”—and how these trends are silently expanding the attack surface for organizations everywhere.
