MCP servers expose tools that AI agents can call directly. Capability policy decides which tools each agent gets, with the same rigor as any other supply chain gate.
SBOMs are a compliance table-stakes artifact in 2026. Here is a production GitHub Actions workflow that generates, signs, and attests a CycloneDX SBOM on every release.
A practical detection workflow for malicious npm packages: install-time signals, registry heuristics, reachability checks, and CI gates that actually block attacks.

A concrete migration plan for artifact signing from ECDSA to ML-DSA and SLH-DSA, covering Sigstore, Notary, HSMs, and staged hybrid rollouts.
Vendor binaries run as root and ship without SBOMs. Continuous discovery brings them under the same governance as your own code.
M&A due diligence usually ignores vendor risk until the day after close. By then, the buyer has inherited a vendor portfolio with no visibility and no leverage.
