Software supply chain attacks are becoming increasingly prevalent and pose significant risks to organizations, as evidenced by notable incidents like the Codecov breach and the Log4j vulnerability. The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) has observed a fourfold increase in such attacks, highlighting the growing threat from malicious actors who exploit vulnerabilities in a single supplier to compromise entire networks. A Gartner report provides strategies for mitigating these risks by enhancing security in the software development lifecycle, protecting code integrity, and securing operating environments. The report also mentions GitGuardian as a tool for secrets scanning in Git repositories and CI pipelines, offering guidance on hardening the software delivery pipeline to counteract these threats effectively.
