Importance of Supply Chain Security in Developer Data Science
Supply chain security is a critical concern for developers and data scientists. Attackers often target the supply chain, exploiting vulnerabilities in packages and tools used in the development process. This can lead to the distribution of malicious software and compromise of code and systems. To address these risks, the Python Software Foundation (PSF) has hired a full-time PIPI safety and security engineer, Mike Fiedler. With a focus on PIPI security, the PSF aims to enhance the security of the Python ecosystem and protect users from potential threats.
