A software bill of materials (SBOM) is a list of ingredients that make up software components. Therefore, it’s sometimes called a software ingredient list. Although the definition of SBOM seems simple, in practice, it’s used in a much broader context. You would use an SBOM to catalog what your project needs in order to complete …

Spring4Shell is the brother from another mother of Log4j. Vulnerabilities seem to come in bunches; if you see one, you should be worried because it is a sign that there are probably related ones lurking nearby. Getting rid of Log4j was a huge challenge in late 2021 but it looks like it wasn’t a one-time …

Supply chain attacks are on the rise. Why are they so attractive to cybercriminals? The reason is simple. Most of the industry is not yet ready to efficiently defend against them and once successfully deployed the chances of having a big impact are high. Tampering with the software supply chain of SolarWinds affected 18,000 customers. …
Codenotary is leading the way in safeguarding against software supply chain attacks–an ever-present threat, where vulnerable artifacts can be introduced at several points. SolarWinds and other hacks have encouraged organizations, like CISA, to release guidelines to minimize the risk of such attacks and develop an industry-wide solution jointly with the commercial and open source communities.Enter …
On February 1, the Linux Foundation’s OpenSSF announced the launch of its Alpha-Omega project, an initiative aimed at securing what are considered the most “core ecosystem” Open Source projects as well as another 10,000 widely-deployed open source projects. Microsoft and Google have kicked in a collective $5 million to help fund this effort. There are …

Codenotary Cloud reduces cost to identify vulnerabilities in software by 80% HOUSTON, February 1, 2021 — Codenotary, the immutability specialist that can instantly identify untrusted components in software, today announced Codenotary Cloud, a fast, easy, inexpensive way to determine where a vulnerability, such as Log4j, exists. Codenotary Cloud reduces the cost to almost instantly identify …
Today (Dec 8th, 2021), we announced our company’s Platinum sponsorship of the AlmaLinux Foundation — the leading alternative to CentOS. We were users of CentOS and when Red Hat announced a change in direction about a year ago, like so many others we were faced with a big decision on where to turn. Our decision …
Watch the full interview of Swapnil Bhartiva and Dennis Zimmer, CTO Codenotary Understanding the code powering one’s services and products has always been critical to the security, reliability, and reputation of that company. There is now a renewed interest around understanding the software supply chain and bill of materials, thanks to the Biden Administration’s Executive Order, …

Blockchain PoCs were unsuccessful due to complexity and lack of developers.
Still the goal of data immutability as well as client verification is a crucial. Furthermore, the system needs to be easy to use and operate (allowing backup, maintenance windows aso.).
immudb is running in different datacenters across the globe. All clinical trial information is stored in immudb either as transactions or the pdf documents as a whole.
Having that single source of truth with versioned, timestamped, and cryptographically verifiable records, enables a whole new way of transparency and trust.
Store the source data, the decision and the rule base for financial support from governments timestamped, verifiable.
A very important functionality is the ability to compare the historic decision (based on the past rulebase) with the rulebase at a different date. Fully cryptographic verifiable Time Travel queries are required to be able to achieve that comparison.
While the source data, rulebase and the documented decision are stored in verifiable Blobs in immudb, the transaction is stored using the relational layer of immudb.
That allows the use of immudb’s time travel capabilities to retrieve verified historic data and recalculate with the most recent rulebase.
No matter if it’s an eCommerce platform or NFT marketplace, the goals are similar:
immudb is typically scaled out using Hyperscaler (i. e. AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure) distributed across the Globe. Auditors are also distributed to track the verification proof over time. Additionally, the shop or marketplace applications store immudb cryptographic state information. That high level of integrity and tamper-evidence while maintaining a very high transaction speed is key for companies to chose immudb.
IoT sensor data received by devices collecting environment data needs to be stored locally in a cryptographically verifiable manner until the data is transferred to a central datacenter. The data integrity needs to be verifiable at any given point in time and while in transit.
immudb runs embedded on the IoT device itself and is consistently audited by external probes. The data transfer to audit is minimal and works even with minimum bandwidth and unreliable connections.
Whenever the IoT devices are connected to a high bandwidth, the data transfer happens to a data center (large immudb deployment) and the source and destination date integrity is fully verified.
CI/CD and application build logs need to be stored auditable and tamper-evident.
A very high Performance
is required as the system should not slow down any build process.
Scalability
is key as billions of artifacts are expected within the next years.
Next to a possibility of integrity validation, data needs to be retrievable by pipeline job id or digital asset checksum.
As part of the CI/CD audit functionality, data is stored within immudb using the Key/Value functionality. Key is either the CI/CD job id (i. e. Jenkins or GitLab) or the checksum of the resulting build or container image.
