Digital trust to combat software supply chain attacks
Sophisticated attacks call for sophisticated solutions.
Cyberwire interview
with the CEO
In this interview with Cyberwire, DigiCert CEO, Dr. Amit Sinha, talks about reducing Software Supply Chain attack surfaces. And he outlines three steps organizations should take to implement mature SSC protections.
The growing threat against software supply chains
Software supply chain (SSC) and software development lifecycle (SDLC) attacks aren’t just becoming more frequent—they’re also more sophisticated. From cybercriminals exploiting open-source software to state-sponsored attackers, threats can come from every direction.

Which software supply chain threats should concern you? The answer is simple—all of them.
Cybercriminals may:
- Target your unprotected code-signing private keys
- Target your insecure code-signing and build infrastructure
- Insert malware into open-source software used by your product
- Leverage a recently discovered vulnerability in a software package used by your company
The Sunburst Tipping Point
Until 2020, most people believed that a supply chain attack was either impossible to pull off or impossible to prevent.
After SolarWinds and others were hit by SUNBURST, the world knew better.
4 Best Practices for Protecting Against Software Supply Chain Attacks
While Zero Trust and other basic security measures provide a first line of defense, securing your company’s software supply chain and software development lifecycle requires a multifaceted approach.
The pillars of a secure software supply chain
PILLAR #1
Secure code signing
- Secure private code-signing keys against theft and misuse
- Protect code-signing process and infrastructure against SSC attacks
PILLAR #2
Threat & vulnerability detection
- Incrementally and frequently scan for vulnerablies and malware in the software components you use
- Know your software is free of malware and vulnerabilities before signing and releasing to customers
PILLAR #3
Software transparency
- Provide your customers full transparency with a comprehensive software bill of materials (SBOM)
PILLAR #4
Bridge DevSecOps gaps
- Integrate software security into development processes without impeding efficiency
- Provide full security visibility across multiple development teams
- Define and automatically enforce software security policy
