SSDLC: 7 Steps to Create a Secure Software Supply Chain
- Adopting SSDLC in software development ensures security controls and risk management are integrated throughout the development phases.
- The practice of SSDLC can help create resilient software to internal and external threats, lowering the possibility of expensive vulnerabilities later in the software's lifecycle.
- Dependency sprawl, visibility gaps, slow response times, and zero-day vulnerabilities are notable challenges faced when building a secure software supply chain.
- Define security requirements, perform threat modeling, map features to requirements, automate vulnerability detection in third-party dependencies, integrate security checks into CI/CD pipelines, monitor supply chain components for emerging vulnerabilities and conduct contextual risk analysis are the seven steps to developing a secure software supply chain.
- Automated checks facilitate maintaining a consistent security posture across different environments, whereas monitoring tools can automate notifications for updates and security patches in real-time.
- Contextual risk analysis allows companies to prioritize their security efforts more effectively by assessing the reachability, criticality and potential impact of the vulnerabilities associated with their specific dependencies based on their unique environments.
- SSDLC best practices are critical to allow companies not to compromise on security and integrity while increasing their efficiency.
- Myrror offers comprehensive software supply chain risk analysis, identifying vulnerabilities and security gaps and offering detailed remediation guidance tailored to specific environments.
- By approaching software development through the lens of SSDLC and tools like Myrror, organizations can be proactive, identify vulnerabilities early and secure their software supply chains against internal or external libraries and services.
