Digital Trust to Combat Software Supply Chain Attacks

Digital trust to combat software supply chain attacks

Sophisticated attacks call for sophisticated solutions.

45%

of orgs worldwide will experience operations-halting SSC attacks by 2025

99%

of codebases contain third-party components and
open-source code

633%

more supply chain attacks took place in 2022 than the previous year

Which software supply chain threats should concern you? The answer is simple—all of them.

Cybercriminals may:

  • Target your unprotected code-signing private keys
  • Target your insecure code-signing and build infrastructure
  • Insert malware into open-source software used by your product
  • Leverage a recently discovered vulnerability in a software package used by your company
