This paper outlines five best practices for securing the software supply chain: build secure container images with trusted sources and SBOMs; secure local development by isolating networks, enforcing access controls, and educating developers; integrate automated security checks and differential vulnerability analysis into CI/CD pipelines; manage secrets safely by avoiding hardcoded credentials, encrypting storage, and rotating keys; and secure production through continuous monitoring, immutable infrastructure, and sharing vulnerability data. Docker and Docker Scout help automate security, ensure compliance, and reduce risks across the development lifecycle.
