Summary

To secure your software supply chain, organizations should adopt Level 1 of the Secure Supply Chain Consumption Framework (S2C2F), which focuses on ingestion, inventory management, and scanning. This involves using an artifact repository like Cloudsmith to cache OSS packages, maintaining an automated inventory of all OSS used in development, and scanning for known vulnerabilities and licenses. By implementing these steps, organizations can bolster their software supply chain's resilience against potential threats and ensure the availability of OSS package dependencies. Leveraging package managers and automated inventory tools enhances security and guarantees availability when consuming OSS, making it easier to identify and address vulnerabilities and license issues.
