Supply chain security is the practice of securing every stage of the software lifecycle—from source code and dependencies to build, release, and deployment. It focuses on preventing tampering, vulnerabilities, and unauthorised changes. Also known as software supply chain security, it is critical in modern DevSecOps.
High-profile supply chain attacks have shown that attackers often target build and dependency systems rather than production directly. Strong supply chain security reduces exposure, improves trust, and ensures only verified software reaches production.
Supply chain security uses practices such as SBOM generation, artifact signing, dependency scanning, policy enforcement, and continuous verification. Controls are applied across source, build, and deployment stages.
BuildPiper embeds supply chain security into release workflows by integrating SBOMs, security checks, policy enforcement, and traceability. This ensures every release is verifiable, governed, and secure by design.
SBOMs provide visibility into components, which is a foundational element of supply chain security.
No. It covers the entire lifecycle, including build systems, pipelines, and artifact storage.
BuildPiper enforces security and governance across build and release stages, ensuring only trusted, compliant artifacts are deployed.
