Securing Your CI/CD Pipeline: A Step-by-Step Checklist
Modern software development demands rapid iteration, consistent delivery, and robust security. Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines are central to achieving these goals, but they also introduce unique risks in your software supply chain. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk through a practical checklist for securing your CI/CD pipeline—helping DevOps teams, security professionals, and engineering leaders implement best practices that align with leading frameworks like SLSA, NIST SSDF, and CIS.
5 Critical Vulnerabilities Hiding in Your Software Supply Chain (And How to Find Them)
The rapid evolution of software development has transformed how applications are built, shipped, and maintained. Modern software is rarely developed in isolation; it relies heavily on open-source components, external libraries, and various build, deployment, and orchestration tools. While this interconnected ecosystem enables speed and innovation, it also introduces significant complexity and hidden risks within the software supply chain. Understanding and mitigating supply chain vulnerabilities is now critical for DevOps teams, security professionals, and engineering leaders seeking to protect their organization’s CI/CD pipelines and maintain compliance with security frameworks.
