Having been adjacent to this for years, it's because it's a cost center and not attached to the bonus of any product or program manager. Every now and then we'll get an advocate for security/integrity at a company but the effort lives and leaves with them. Microsoft, after getting beat up over this for decades, is still horrible at it. In my area they're have been enforced regulations for years but they're written by the industry itself and infected with compliance managers and thus result in wastes of effort that makes compliance managers that came over from HR and legal happy with their eternal job security and minimal hard work. Until some heavy handed top down regulation, written by people who understand the nature of ongoing security and software and embedded lifecycles, it's going to stay like this. Most existing supply chain regulation I've seen ends up saying "vet your vendors" and gives minimal practical guidance of how to actually do that. Likelihood of some really good law coming out of the current US administration and business climate is left as a comedy for the reader. | ||
