The 2026 software supply chain security gap

AI-generated code is now nearly universal. Enforcement is not. That gap is where your software supply chain is most exposed. Cloudsmith's CEO Glenn Weinstein, Co-Founder & CTO Lee Skillen, and VP of Product Alison Sickelka join Product Marketing Manager Meghan McGowan to unpack the 2026 State of Artifact Management report – a survey-based look at how AI development is reshaping the threat landscape, what organizations are getting wrong, and what the highest-leverage fix actually looks like.

Introducing the Cortex AI Assistant (now in Slack)!

Mention @Cortex in any Slack channel the Assistant has been invited to, public or private, and get grounded answers pulled from your Cortex data. Questions can be as simple as "who owns payments-api?" or as analytical as "what's driving our incident trends this quarter?" The Assistant pulls context from all across Cortex, including ownership, Scorecards, Initiatives, on-call, dependencies, and Eng Intelligence metrics, and holds context across a threaded conversation.
