What are dependencies, and how do you secure them?

Open source software is everywhere. Research shows that around 97% of codebases contain open source software, and it’s clear to see why. It’s always magical to realize that there are thousands of free-to-use, ready-built programs and code repositories that solve problems you’d otherwise need to spend weeks building the solutions for from scratch. However, like with all software, you still need to ensure that your software supply chain is secure and safe to consume.
