  <itunes:subtitle>In this episode of Tech Transforms, host Carolyn Ford dives into the world of secure software development with guests Scott Orton and Mike Mehlberg. They explore the critical challenges of implementing Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs), securing open-source software, and using Rust programming language for safer, memory-secure coding. The conversation also covers AI's growing role in code development, the evolving landscape of cross-domain solutions, and the race between cybersecurity advancements and ever-evolving threats.

From real-world implementation challenges to insights on automating security measures in classified environments, Scott and Mike break down the risks and opportunities in today's software ecosystem. Whether you're a developer, cybersecurity professional, or just curious about how technology is shaping secure systems, this episode is packed with expert insights and actionable takeaways.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;🔒 How do we secure software in an era of open-source dominance and AI-driven threats?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On this episode of Tech Transforms, Scott Orton and Mike Mehlberg join Carolyn Ford to explore the future of secure software development. They tackle:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;✅ The Power of SBOMs – Why software transparency is a game-changer (and why some companies still resist it)&lt;br&gt;
✅ Open-Source Risks – How attackers exploit vulnerabilities in widely used packages and what to do about it&lt;br&gt;
✅ Rust Programming Language – The case for transitioning to a more secure, memory-safe coding environment&lt;br&gt;
✅ AI in Software Development – How AI is transforming cybersecurity, from automated vulnerability detection to mitigating risks before they happen&lt;br&gt;
✅ Cross-Domain Solutions – The push toward hygienic networks and a proactive approach to security in classified environments&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They also discuss real-world security threats, including a recent open-source software attack that nearly went undetected. Plus, Scott shares his vision for AI inspired by non-human intelligence (think squids and insects! 🦑).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;🔹 If you're in software development, cybersecurity, or tech leadership, this episode is a must-listen!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;📲 Connect with Scott and Mike on LinkedIn for more insights.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;🎧 Listen now and stay ahead in the world of secure software and cyber defense! &lt;/p&gt;
