Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Let’s talk about your background, and led you to found Chainguard. 

Topic 2 - Over the last couple years, we’ve seen several high-profile hacks where malicious code was a big part of the problem. As an industry, where are we in terms of managing the security around software? 

Topic 3 - Now that we’re building software much faster, and software is coming from so many different (and often unknown/untrusted) places, what are some of the technology shifts that are happening to address these new environments?

Topic 4 - Chainguard is focused on both secure container images and now secure supply-chain solutions. Walk us through how your offers fit into today’s software challenges.

Topic 5 - There is a new term we’re hearing quite a bit, SBOM (Secure Bill of Materials). How does SBOM fit into this bigger picture? What are the technologies behind the scenes that make it possible?

Topic 6 - For anyone focusing on this area, what are some good ways to get involved with the new technologies and way of thinking about software security?
