# Protecting the Software Supply Chain

In the newly published [**2025 OWASP Top 10**](https://www.csoonline.com/article/4126865/software-supply-chain-risks-join-the-owasp-top-10-list-access-control-still-on-top.html), *Software Supply Chain Failures* has been added as a major category alongside long-standing issues such as broken access control and cryptographic failures — underscoring how attackers increasingly target the components, build systems, and tools that underpin modern software development. This isn’t surprising; software today depends on vast webs of open-source libraries, third-party services, and complex CI/CD pipelines, and a single compromised artifact can cascade across an entire ecosystem.

For security leaders in heavily regulated industries — from financial services to critical infrastructure — the implications are clear: you can’t secure what you don’t *measure* or *trust*. As OWASP and other industry bodies emphasize, visibility into every component of a software supply chain is foundational to reducing systemic risk.

This is where **Codenotary Trustcenter** delivers a transformative capability. It provides organizations with **continuous artifact trust scoring across every piece of software in the engineering organization**, regardless of scale. Whether a team manages thousands of internal packages or billions of artifacts across services, containers, and libraries (as with some global banking customers), Trustcenter maintains a holistic and real-time trust index. Each artifact — from a build output to a container image — receives a **trust score** reflecting provenance, integrity, and risk posture.

A core challenge with supply-chain threats lies in *unknown unknowns*: dependencies several layers deep that were pulled in months or years ago, with little visibility or ongoing validation. Codenotary addresses this by ingesting signals not just from internal build metadata and cryptographic attestations, but also from **external trust intelligence**, such as **Open Source Software Foundation (OSSF) risk scores**, severity data, and real-world vulnerability feeds. This curated blend of internal and external signals lets Trustcenter surface high-risk artifacts that would otherwise hide in plain sight.

Trustcenter’s scoring model becomes a central risk-management lens that integrates with existing CI/CD and governance workflows. When a new vulnerability or malicious pattern is identified upstream, Trustcenter can retroactively re-evaluate trust scores and flag affected artifacts, enabling security and development teams to act swiftly and systematically.

In a landscape where software supply-chain attacks are both stealthy and impactful, maintaining a *trust score for every artifact* isn’t just advantageous — it’s essential. Codenotary Trustcenter gives organizations the **systemic insight and risk prioritization** needed to defend software at scale, aligning with leading security frameworks and reducing exposure across the entire development lifecycle.
