MetaDefender Software Supply Chain

Secure Your Software Development Lifecycle and Meet Compliance Standards

Attackers take many routes to infiltrate the software supply chain. They exploit vulnerabilities in open-source and third-party dependencies, inject malware into software components, and target developers to gain unauthorized access to their source code.

OPSWAT MetaDefender Software Supply Chain provides expanded visibility and a robust defense against supply chain risks. With our zero-trust threat detection and prevention technologies, your software development lifecycle (SDLC) is secured from malware and vulnerabilities, strengthening application security and compliance adherence.

Challenges

Common Risks in Software Supply Chains

Targeted Supply Chain Attacks

Attackers target third-party code or developers’ workstations, introducing malware to cause security exposures and disrupt business continuity.

Known and Unknown Threats

In the dynamic landscape of third-party code and container images, both known and unknown threats pose imminent dangers, infecting downstream applications.

Vulnerabilities in Third-Party Components

Attackers can exploit outdated and unpatched libraries and services to compromise vulnerable systems.

Leaking Secrets and Credentials

Exposed hard coded credentials provide easily exploitable opportunities for attackers, leading to leakage of sensitive information or illegitimate access to code repositories.

Regulatory Compliance Management

Regulations like SOC2 and ISO 27001 underscore the importance of strengthening software integrity. However, continuous vulnerability management adds challenges in meeting these compliance standards.

Integration Complexity

Facilitating agile software development using multiple CI/CD tools while ensuring integrated security measures presents a dual challenge.

“We’re using MetaDefender there to scan everything as we build it, to make sure we’re not becoming that supply chain risk.”
