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.
Industry pressures.
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.
SLSA L3+ build factory
Hermetic builds, in-toto attestation, sigstore signing on every released artefact.
Per-customer audit log
Every customer-runner action emits a signed event. Streamed to customer SIEM in real time.
Marketplace signing + review
Plugin submissions go through security review + sigstore signing. Capability scope declared per plugin.
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. Lion 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.
