Sonatype Unveils Ambitious Strategy to Secure Software Supply Chain
The focus on securing the software supply chain is intensifying, with both discussions and practical actions increasing. Sonatype, a leading provider in this field, has unveiled an ambitious strategy to become the 'parts warehouse' for all software components, including open source code, proprietary software, automation tools, and even virtual machine images.
Sonatype's new approach, presented by its founder and leader, centres around a seamless integration of security measures into the software supply chain and development lifecycle. The company aims to help organizations gain centralised control over all their 'building materials', tracking them even after they've been deployed into production. This strategy is a response to the growing concern about the use of third-party components with known security vulnerabilities.
Several influential bodies, such as FS-ISAC, Open Web Application Security Project, and PCI Council, have been warning about these dangers. A recent survey by Sonatype itself revealed alarming figures: 10% of respondents had experienced an open-source-related breach in the past year, and a staggering 63% do not track vulnerabilities in the components they use.
Sonatype's new strategy, focusing on a frictionless approach to securing the software supply chain, is a significant step towards mitigating these risks. By centralising control and tracking components throughout their lifecycle, Sonatype is helping organizations enhance their software security and resilience.
