Summary

Harness Software Supply Chain Assurance (SSCA) enhances software supply chain security by providing real-time remediation tracking, SBOM scoring, and drift detection, which collectively enable organizations to swiftly address vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with security standards. The SSCA module offers tools such as real-time zero-day remediation tracking, artifact enumeration, environment visibility, deployment pipeline tracing, and an artifact exclusion mechanism, all aiming to simplify and streamline vulnerability management. Additionally, the SSCA introduces SBOM scoring to evaluate the quality of Software Bills of Materials based on criteria like compliance with NTIA guidelines and data quality, helping assess risks and improving SBOM tools. SBOM drift detection is another feature that tracks changes in software artifacts to prevent security and compliance risks, providing detailed analysis and manual review options. The integration with project management tools like Jira facilitates efficient communication and task management, while the SSCA's platform approach supports robust DevSecOps practices with its comprehensive features.
