Software Supply Chain Security Checklist
7 Rules to Protect Your Supply Chain from Attack
Software supply chains are made up of software components like open source packages and infrastructure as code (IaC) templates, as well as underlying delivery pipelines, such as version control systems (VCS) and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.
Because software supply chains have direct access to proprietary code and are just a few pivots away from sensitive data, securing them is crucial. Recent software supply chain attacks have highlighted this fact, and Gartner® predicts that “by 2025, 45% of organizations worldwide will have experienced attacks on their software supply chains.”1
This checklist covers seven key considerations for identifying, prioritizing, and addressing risks faster and preventing supply chain security attacks.
