Which of the following BEST describes the concept of "supply chain security" in software development?
Managing inventory levels of software licenses
Protecting the integrity and security of all components and processes involved in creating software
Ensuring the physical security of hardware devices during shipping
Optimizing delivery schedules for software patches
The correct answer is protecting the integrity and security of all components and processes involved in creating software. Supply chain security in software development encompasses securing all aspects of the software creation process, from third-party components and development tools to build systems and distribution mechanisms, ensuring that malicious code isn't introduced at any stage.
Ensuring the physical security of hardware devices during shipping addresses only a narrow aspect of hardware supply chain security. While important for hardware, it doesn't address the broader software supply chain concerns.
**Managing inventory levels of development equipment **is an availability concern, but it is rarely a security function related to software development. Inventory management may be part of asset management but doesn't directly relate to securing the software supply chain.
**Optimizing delivery schedules for software patches ** can assist security in scheduling operational impact. However, release timing doesn't directly affect the security of the software being developed.
