SBOMs Aren’t Enough. Secure Your Software Supply Chain End-To-End – Yongjae Chung, New York University Secure Systems Lab & Justin Cappos, New York University
You probably heard that SBOMs are helpful, but did you know that an SBOM only addresses a fraction of what can go wrong in your software supply chain? The SLSA (Supply Chain Levels for Software Artifacts) specification identifies 9 distinct threat areas, spanning from source code, all the way to package distribution. Most development teams address one or two of these and call it a day, leaving gaps that real-world attacks like SolarWinds and Log4J have already exploited. We understand that it is difficult to cover all aspects when it comes to the software supply chain.
How about we make this much easier? In this talk, we will present an overview of the modern software supply chain threat model, and show how you can provide integrity throughout the whole process of your software development life cycle. We will introduce an easy-to-setup, end-to-end open source stack, built from frameworks and tools within the CNCF/OpenSSF ecosystem.
