What is software supply chain security?
Software supply chain security manages risk across source code, dependencies, builds and distribution.
Dependencies and release
Track dependency versions and origins, protect build environments and verify package provenance. Signatures and build records help show how a release was produced.
Uses and limitations
It matters for teams using third-party packages. An inventory alone does not fix vulnerabilities; updates, access control and incident response remain necessary.
