This Refcard explains how to secure the full software supply chain—from upstream dependencies to downstream artifacts. It distinguishes application security from supply chain security and highlights risks posed by transitive dependencies, build systems, and artifact integrity. Core practices include dependency verification, secure builds, automated CI/CD pipelines, cryptographic signing, and vulnerability remediation. The guide also discusses standards and compliance frameworks shaping modern development. The central theme: trust must be verifiable. Organizations that secure each link in the chain reduce exposure to large-scale breaches.
