4 Best Practices for Protecting Against Software Supply Chain Attacks

Integrating secure code signing, threat and malware detection, and SBOM generation.

In the face of increasing software supply chain attacks, organizations must adopt a multi-faceted strategy to safeguard their software development infrastructure. Gartner reports that 45% of companies worldwide will experience attacks on their software supply chains by 2025. This year alone, impacts of software supply chain attacks were felt around the world with more than a dozen high-profile, targeted attacks. Those incidents include the hack of Voice over IP vendor 3CX and the attacks on Progress Software’s MOVEit managed file transfer application. The MOVEit attacks, carried out by the Clop cybercriminal group, are estimated to have affected 62 million people around the world whose healthcare data was stolen.

The lessons from these attacks are clear: software supply chain attacks represent the largest unaddressed attack surface within businesses today. Recent history shows that proprietary, commercial, and open-source software all post risks to your environment. But, regardless of whether you are building or deploying software, if you’re using software in your business, you’re at risk.
