Protection Against Cyberattacks – Why IAM Is Essential for Public Authorities (DE)

Open-source dependencies accelerate software development but come with risks. Outdated libraries, missing patches, and even supply chain attacks can slip in unnoticed. In the first three months of 2025 alone, the MITRE Foundation registered over twelve thousand new CVEs – around 130 new entries every day. Each could, in principle, affect third-party code within a product. High-profile cases such as Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228) and the recent compromise of npm packages by the Shai-Hulud worm in September and November 2025 illustrate the point: without a clear strategy for dependency management, a single weakness can threaten millions of systems at once. In this article, we explain how Beta Systems secures the software supply chain through effective dependency management and automation.
