Seven habits that help security teams reduce risk without slowing delivery. The right habits change everything. Sponsored Post Security teams are under pressure from every direction: supply chain threats are rising, regulatory expectations are tightening, and development cycles aren’t getting any slower. Yet for many organizations, the practical work of improving software security still comes down to the same challenge — how do you reduce exposure without constantly battling developers, delaying releases, or piling on process? That’s where a more consistent set of habits can make a measurable difference. Rather than treating software supply chain security as a one-off initiative, many teams are shifting toward repeatable practices they can build into everyday workflows. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s improving baseline security in ways that actually stick, across teams and tool chains. Chainguard is hosting an upcoming webinar-style event designed to help security and engineering leaders identify the habits that matter most. The session explores seven practical approaches for building more secure software pipelines, with a focus on reducing risk while keeping delivery moving. Topics include: For many organizations, these challenges show up in familiar ways: teams struggle to keep up with CVEs, vulnerabilities appear in unexpected places, and "fixing it later" becomes the default because the short-term cost of remediation feels too high. But security teams don't need to choose between speed and control. With the right habits embedded earlier in the process, it's possible to reduce risk without turning every release into a fire drill. The webinar will be relevant for professionals responsible for application security, DevOps, cloud security, platform engineering, or security architecture, particularly in environments where containers and modern CI/CD pipelines play a central role. Registration is free, and attendees will leave with practical takeaways they can apply across both new and existing workloads — whether they're starting to formalize supply chain security or looking to make an existing program more effective.
