"Chain"ging the Game – how runtime makes your supply chain even more secure

The blog post explores the significance of runtime security in safeguarding software supply chains against attacks, highlighting tools like Falco and Sysdig Secure that enhance protection during the build and deployment phases. It explains the concept of software supply chain attacks, where malicious actors infiltrate a vendor's network to compromise software before distribution. The text discusses the role of Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) in identifying software components to prevent vulnerabilities and the importance of Executive Order initiatives for improving cybersecurity standards. Falco, a Kubernetes threat detection engine, utilizes system calls to detect and alert on anomalous behaviors, while Sysdig Secure integrates security across the container lifecycle. The article suggests fostering a culture of security, implementing runtime security measures, and leveraging community-driven resources to strengthen defense mechanisms against cyber threats.
