## AI overview

This article explains software supply chain risks from open-source and third-party components, using the SolarWinds attack as an example. It recommends verifying artifacts, signing container images, minimizing dependencies, updating software, scanning for vulnerabilities, using smaller base images, adopting reproducible builds, and increasing SLSA maturity.
