Software Supply Chain Security
Securing the software supply chain requires comprehensive protection of development, build, and deployment processes, from source code to production environments.
Secure Development Practices
Source Code Protection
- Version control system security
- Code signing and integrity verification
- Secure coding standards enforcement
- Peer review and approval processes
- Branch protection and access controls
Build System Security
- Isolated and hardened build environments
- Reproducible and deterministic builds
- Build artifact signing and verification
- Container image security scanning
- Infrastructure as code security
Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)
SBOM Generation and Management
- Comprehensive component inventory
- License and vulnerability tracking
- Dependency relationship mapping
- Version and origin verification
- Supply chain transparency
SBOM Standards and Formats
- SPDX (Software Package Data Exchange)
- CycloneDX for vulnerability management
- SWID (Software Identification) tags
- NTIA minimum elements compliance
- Industry-specific SBOM requirements
Open Source Security
Dependency Management
- Open source component scanning
- Vulnerability assessment and remediation
- License compliance monitoring
- Component lifecycle management
- Alternative component evaluation
Package Repository Security
- Private package repository implementation
- Package integrity verification
- Malicious package detection
- Repository mirroring and caching
- Access control and authentication
DevSecOps Integration
CI/CD Pipeline Security
- Security gates and quality checks
- Automated vulnerability scanning
- Security testing integration (SAST/DAST)
- Container and infrastructure scanning
- Compliance validation automation
Secure Deployment Practices
- Blue-green and canary deployments
- Runtime application protection
- Configuration management security
- Secret and credential management
- Rollback and recovery procedures
