In this episode of the Google Cloud Security Podcast, hosts Timothy Peacock (Senior Product Manager, Threat Detection, GCP) and Anton Chuvakin (Senior Staff, Google Cloud Office of the CISO) are joined by John Speed Myers, a principal security scientist at ChainGuard with a public‑policy background, and Todd Kaliza, a staff user researcher at Google. The conversation centers on the 2022 Accelerate State of DevOps (DORA) report, which for the first time includes a dedicated security block focused on software supply‑chain security. The hosts and guests explain the DORA survey methodology, why supply‑chain security was chosen, and how it fits into broader AppSec concerns. They unpack two key frameworks – SLSA (Supply‑Chain Levels for Software Artifacts) and SSDF (Secure Software Development Framework) – describing their origins, goals, and current adoption rates as revealed by the survey of over 1,000 developers. The discussion highlights statistically significant links between mature DevOps practices, higher security posture, and improved developer experience (lower burnout, higher team satisfaction). Automation, especially robust CI pipelines, is presented as a practical lever that both eases security compliance and boosts developer productivity. The panel also explores cultural aspects such as blameless (generative) culture, the challenges of implementing it in security, and the trust issues auditors face when assessing modern supply‑chain controls. They note the current “wild‑west” state of SBOM generation and analysis, and the difficulty of translating frameworks into third‑party attestations. The episode concludes with concrete recommendations – visiting salsa.dev, adopting a “scan‑everything‑fix‑it” or “start‑clean‑use‑known‑good‑components” mindset, and focusing on reducing unplanned work through automation – while acknowledging open research questions for future DORA reports.
