Supply Chain Security — SLSA, Sigstore, and Software Provenance

SolarWinds, Codecov, Log4Shell — supply chain attacks are the new normal. How do you ensure the software you deploy is the software you built?

SLSA Framework

SLSA (Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts) — a framework from Google defining levels of build pipeline security:

  • Level 1 — documented build process
  • Level 2 — versioned build service (CI/CD)
  • Level 3 — hardened build platform, provenance

Sigstore for Signing

Cosign (part of Sigstore) signs container images. Every image in our registry is signed, with keyless signing via OIDC. A Kubernetes admission controller verifies the signature before deployment.

SBOM in CI/CD

Syft generates an SBOM with every build. The SBOM is attached to the release artifact. Grype scans the SBOM against CVE databases. Everything automated, no manual steps.

Trust, but Verify — Automatically

Supply chain security must be an automated part of CI/CD. SLSA + Sigstore + SBOM = the foundation for trustworthy software.
