Developers are no longer just building software.
 They’re being targeted directly.

In this episode, Tanya Janca explains how supply chain attacks reach developers through everyday tools, packages, and workflows.

These attacks don’t feel like attacks at first. They look like normal development work until it’s too late.

You’ll learn:
 • How supply chain attacks reach individual developers
 • Why developer environments are now high-value targets
 • Where risk shows up in daily workflows
 • Simple ways to protect yourself without slowing down

If you work in JavaScript, DevSecOps, or application security, this shift matters.

👉 Start by reviewing what you install, what runs during install, and what your tools are actually doing behind the scenes.
