Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.
Where the DoD Zero Trust Reference Architecture meets the software supply chain, and what program offices are actually doing about it.
Developer workstations have elevated access to source code, build systems, and deployment pipelines. Zero Trust principles applied to these endpoints significantly reduce supply chain attack surface.
Microsegmentation limits lateral movement after a breach. Applied to software supply chains, it contains the blast radius when a dependency, build tool, or vendor is compromised.
Development environments are often the weakest link in network security. Proper segmentation isolates build systems from production and prevents lateral movement from compromised developer machines.
Software-Defined Perimeters can isolate build systems, artifact repositories, and deployment pipelines from unauthorized access. Here is how SDP applies to supply chain security.
