Yet for many organizations, the practical work of improving software security still comes down to the same challenge \u2014 how do you reduce exposure without constantly battling developers, delaying releases, or piling on process?\n<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where a more consistent set of habits can make a measurable difference.<br \/>\n<br \/>Rather than treating software supply chain security as a one-off initiative, many teams are shifting toward repeatable practices they can build into everyday workflows. The goal isn\u2019t perfection; it\u2019s improving baseline security in ways that actually stick, across teams and tool chains.\n<\/p>\n<p>Chainguard is hosting an upcoming webinar-style event designed to help security and engineering leaders identify the habits that matter most. The session explores\u00a0<strong>seven practical approaches<\/strong>\u00a0for building more secure software pipelines, with a focus on reducing risk while keeping delivery moving.<\/p>\n<p>Topics include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Improving visibility into what&#8217;s in your software<\/strong>, including dependencies and container contents<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reducing the attack surface<\/strong> by minimizing what runs in production<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keeping builds and deployments more consistent<\/strong>, so security doesn&#8217;t depend on luck or tribal knowledge<\/li>\n<li><strong>Making patching and updates less disruptive,<\/strong>\u00a0especially when teams are already overloaded<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aligning security and engineering outcomes<\/strong>, so developers don&#8217;t feel like security is just a blocker<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For many organizations, these challenges show up in familiar ways: teams struggle to keep up with CVEs, vulnerabilities appear in unexpected places, and &#8220;fixing it later&#8221; becomes the default because the short-term cost of remediation feels too high.<\/p>\n<p>But security teams don&#8217;t need to choose between speed and control. With the right habits embedded earlier in the process, it&#8217;s possible to reduce risk without turning&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2026\/01\/29\/seven_habits_that_help\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seven habits that help security teams reduce risk \u2022 The Register https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2026\/01\/29\/seven_habits_that_help\/ Publish Date: 2026-01-29&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":207842,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2017\/10\/20\/security_shutterstock.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-207841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207841"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=207841"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207841\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":207843,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207841\/revisions\/207843"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/207842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=207841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=207841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=207841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
