Software Supply Chain Security
Solutions that protect the integrity of software development and delivery pipelines, including SBOM generation and validation, dependency and artifact scanning, build system and CI/CD hardening, code signing and provenance, policy enforcement in artifact repositories and package managers, and integrity verification and attestation (e.g., SLSA‑aligned, in‑toto, Sigstore) from source through build, packaging, deployment, and runtime across applications, containers, and infrastructure as code. This domain focuses on the trustworthiness of the software supply chain itself, complementing Application & API Security, which focuses on application behavior and exposure.
