Software Supply Chain Security: More Than Open Source | Harness Resource | Harness

Most security teams begin their software supply chain journey with SCA tools to manage open source risk and then stop there. But modern applications depend on far more than third-party libraries. From container images and build artifacts to CI/CD pipelines and AI models, today's software supply chain encompasses an entire ecosystem of dependencies that attackers are actively exploiting.In this OnDemand session, you'll discover why addressing open source vulnerabilities is just the first step in securing your software supply chain. We'll examine the critical blind spots that emerge after SCA implementation including artifact integrity, pipeline security, container supply chain attacks, and the emerging risks from AI components and models. Watch now to learn practical strategies for extending your supply chain security program beyond dependency scanning to protect the full lifecycle of software delivery, from code to cloud to production.Key Takeaways:Why SCA alone leaves critical supply chain risks unaddressedThe expanding attack surface: containers, artifacts, pipelines, and AI componentsPractical next steps for building comprehensive supply chain securityReal-world examples of post-SCA supply chain compromises and how to prevent them

What you'll learn

Key Takeaways

SCA Is Only the First Step

Relying solely on Software Composition Analysis leaves critical security blind spots. A comprehensive strategy must also protect container images, build artifacts, and deployment pipelines.

Secure the CI/CD Pipeline

Pipelines act as highly privileged bridges between development and production. Integrating multiple tools increases configuration complexity and the risk of exploitation.

Prevent Malicious Artifact Injection

Attackers can exploit pre-install scripts or override registries to insert compromised artifacts. Organizations must monitor and block risky packages from entering developer workflows.

Audit Third-Party Vendor Applications

Attackers can infiltrate environments through purchased third-party applications. Utilizing Software Bills of Materials is critical for evaluating the security of external vendor software.

AI Models Introduce Unique Governance Risks

Managing AI components requires a different lifecycle governance approach than traditional software. Highly regulated industries often build proprietary models to ensure data sovereignty despite high costs.
