Supply Chain Attacks in 2025: Real-World Case Studies and Lessons Learned

The rapid evolution of software supply chains has brought immense benefits for speed, scalability, and innovation. Yet, this transformation has also made enterprises more vulnerable to an increasingly sophisticated set of supply chain security threats. In 2025, new attack vectors targeting the software supply chain have dominated headlines and forced organizations to rethink their security postures. This post highlights several of this year’s most impactful supply chain attacks, analyzes the root causes, and provides actionable lessons for DevOps, security professionals, and engineering leaders aiming to elevate their defenses.

DevSecOps Implementation Guide: Shifting Security Left in Your Organization

Security breaches and supply chain attacks have made headlines in recent years, prompting organizations to reevaluate how software is built, delivered, and maintained. Modern engineering teams are increasingly adopting DevSecOps—integrating security practices into DevOps workflows—to proactively address these risks. In this comprehensive guide, we explore how to successfully implement DevSecOps within your organization, shifting security left in your SDLC, and establishing robust defenses against evolving threats in your software supply chain.

SLSA Framework: Complete Guide to Supply-Chain Levels for Software Artifacts

Understanding SLSA: The Essential Framework for Software Supply Chain Security

In today’s interconnected software ecosystem, supply chain attacks have become one of the most significant threats to organizations worldwide. From the SolarWinds incident to Log4j vulnerabilities, these attacks demonstrate the critical need for robust software supply chain security. Enter SLSA (Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts) – a comprehensive framework designed to protect against supply chain compromises.

What is SLSA?

SLSA (pronounced “salsa”) is an industry-standard framework developed by Google and other tech giants to ensure the integrity of software artifacts throughout their entire lifecycle. SLSA provides a common language for describing and incrementally improving supply chain security posture through a series of levels and requirements.

Probatus Suite - Cross-Platform Software Supply Chain Security

Achieve SLSA Level 2+ Across All Your Build Infrastructure

Probatus Suite is the cross-platform software supply chain security solution that brings attestation, verification, and visibility to your entire CI/CD ecosystem—regardless of where you build.

Probatus (Latin): proven, tested, verified

The Multi-Platform Build Challenge

Modern development teams don’t use just one build platform. You might have:

GitHub Actions for your core applications
GitLab CI for internal tools
Jenkins for legacy systems
CircleCI for mobile apps
Cloud-native builds on AWS, GCP, or Azure

Each platform generates artifacts. Each needs security attestations. But managing compliance across all of them? That’s been nearly impossible—until now.

Software Supply Chain Maturity Assessment

Understand your software supply chain risks before attackers do. Benchmark your security posture, uncover gaps, and build a clear roadmap to a trusted, compliant DevSecOps pipeline.

Why a Maturity Assessment Matters

Software supply chain attacks are rising — from dependency poisoning to compromised CI/CD systems. Without a clear view of how secure your software delivery pipeline is, it’s impossible to know what risks you’re actually shipping to production.
