On this episode of "What's in the SoSS," Yesenia Yser sits down with Justin Cappos, NYU professor and self-described "OG software supply chain guy" who's been working in this space since 2002. Justin reveals why most universities fail to teach fundamental security practices—from MFA to code signing—and how his groundbreaking software supply chain security course is creating some of the top 500 most qualified professionals in the world. We discuss the challenges of keeping curriculum current in a rapidly evolving field, the "throw them in the deep end" approach to teaching open source collaboration, and Justin's vision for transforming security education across institutions nationwide through the Linux Foundation's Academic Computing Acceleration Program.
