Solution · DevOps / CI-CD Platforms

DevOps & CI-CD Platforms. Don't be the next supply-chain headline.

When the platform that ships everyone else's code gets popped, everyone gets popped. Codecov, 3CX, Kaseya, SolarWinds — the pattern keeps repeating. Safeguard ships the SLSA L3+ build factory, marketplace governance, customer trust packets, and runtime Guard that closes the chain-attack loop.

Codecov-class chain attacks

When the platform that ships everyone else's code gets popped, everyone gets popped. The chain-attack pattern keeps repeating.

Customer-runner sandbox escape

Customer-supplied CI jobs run on your infrastructure. A sandbox escape is a cross-tenant incident in waiting.

Marketplace/plugin integrity

Marketplaces multiply attack surface. Plugin-publishing pipelines need the same scrutiny as your own code.

Customer-trust pressure

Every customer is a regulator-audit-waiting-to-happen. SOC 2, SLSA L3+, FedRAMP HIGH expectations from day one.

How Safeguard fits.

Signed runner/agent provenance

Every shipped runner agent, every released installer, every build artefact attested with in-toto + sigstore. SLSA L3-L4.

Marketplace plugin governance

Signing requirements, capability scoping, security review of community plugins. The marketplace doesn't become an attack vector.

Customer trust packet per release

Per-release SBOM, provenance, scan history, signed audit log — exportable for customer security teams.

Runtime Guard on customer runners

Same policy enforced at runtime via eBPF/sidecar. Sandbox escape attempts caught at the syscall layer.

Compliance alignment.

Reference architecture.

Step 01

SLSA L3+ build factory

Hermetic builds, in-toto attestation, sigstore signing on every released artefact.

Step 02

Per-customer audit log

Every customer-runner action emits a signed event. Streamed to customer SIEM in real time.

Step 03

Marketplace signing + review

Plugin submissions go through security review + sigstore signing. Capability scope declared per plugin.

Step 04

Runtime Guard on runners

eBPF + sidecar enforcement on customer-runner workloads. Same policy as CI/IDE applied at runtime.

Where the risk lives today.

Customer-runner sandbox escape

Untrusted CI jobs running on shared infra are the highest-value exfiltration target. Runtime Guard catches it.

Marketplace-plugin compromise

A trojaned plugin is downstream supply-chain damage. Capability scoping + signing closes the path.

Build-secret leakage via plugins

Plugins running with broad privileges leak secrets through logs, env, telemetry. Lino on egress catches it.

AI-runner adversarial input

AI-augmented build runners are new attack surface. MCP-server inspection + Guard close the loop.

Current threat landscape.

Codecov-class CI poisoning

Trojaned uploader/installer pattern reaching customer builds.
