CIO Influence: Interview AppSOC CEO - Pravin Kothari

This interview, originally published in CIO Influence features AppSOC CEO Pravin Kothari, discussing security posture management, the explosion of AI applications and the software supply chain as a key security pillar.

Excerpt:

Protecting the software supply chain has become a key security pillar, but what do we know about AI supply chains?

We know from Solarwinds, Log4j and many other incidents that software supply chain security is critical. Now, AI systems bring in many new types of supply chain challenges. A great example is Hugging Face – a hugely popular site for AI scientists and developers. They offer about 800,000 open-source LLMs for download, modifying, and sharing with the community. That’s great for experimenting and development, but of course, it has already attracted bad actors and malware.
