Understand your software supply chain
Your application depends on more than your own code. Libraries, build tools, base images, and CI workflows all contribute to the software you deliver.
Inventory the inputs
Track direct and transitive dependencies. Use lockfiles and review changes to build tooling and package sources.
Tie components to an artifact
Generate a software bill of materials for released artifacts. Tie it to a version or digest so the inventory remains meaningful.
Protect the build itself
Protect the build environment and verify artifact provenance where supported. Inventory and signing support review; they do not prove software is vulnerability free.
