Birds of a Feather: A Candid Conversation on Software Supply Chain Security

“There is an English proverb: Birds of a feather flock together.”

This Birds of a Feather (BoF) session at Black Hat Europe 2025 invites professionals passionate about Software Supply Chain Security to come together for an open, informal, and unscripted discussion under Chatham House Rules. This is not a panel or a talk — it’s a community-driven conversation.

We’ll kick off with a few thought-provoking remarks from a group of carefully selected experts, but the real focus is on you — the participants. Whether you’re wrestling with dependency hell, facing SBOM fatigue, navigating CI/CD risks, or rethinking trust boundaries in distributed systems, this is your space to talk, ask, and share.

The discussion will be guided by our moderator, Anant Shrivastava, Black Hat Review Board Member and longtime contributor to the software supply chain security ecosystem. Anant will ensure the session remains inclusive, balanced, and engaging for all.

Pull up a chair. Bring your war stories. Let’s flock together and speak freely.
