The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) plans to open an office focused on helping the public and private sectors protect their software and IT supply chains.

The new office will help organizations implement recently issued CISA policies and guidance related to managing cybersecurity supply chain risk, including issues stemming from malicious functionality, counterfeit components, or open source software (OSS) vulnerabilities, and more.

Former General Services Administration official Shon Lyublanovits will lead the new supply chain management risk division, Federal News Network (FNN) reported.
