超越传统应用程式安全测试，重新思考软体供应链安全

软体供应链安全 (SSCS) 是指包含工具、服务和实践的安全解决方案，用于保护软体开发生命週期 (SDLC) 免受网路安全攻击，涵盖从软体开发（初始编码和测试）到运行时的各个阶段。 SSCS 保护的典型载体包括开放原始码和第三方元件（库和框架）、专有程式码、储存库、开发工具和开发者帐户/程式码共用平台。

软体供应链中不断扩大的攻击面和日益增长的网路威胁，使得软体供应链安全控制系统 (SSCS) 成为组织网路安全策略的重要组成部分。从利用第三方程式码漏洞到配置错误的云端服务，软体供应链事件的报告无疑是司空见惯的。这些攻击涉及专有程式码和商业程式码，对软体生产商和消费者的安全、监管和营运都产生影响。

由于技术进步和网路威胁，SSCS 格局不断发展，SSCS 供应商提供了广泛的功能、方法和策略来确保 SDLC 各个阶段的安全：一些供应商专注于提供左移解决方案，其他供应商采用右移方法，还有一些供应商专注于 SDLC 的建置后和部署前阶段。

对于当今的企业来说，采用全面的 SSCS 至关重要，它可以保护其软体供应链，并确保在现代数位化环境中取得永续的成功。然而，由于 SSCS 的复杂性、不断变化的威胁载体以及第三方和开放原始码组件的快速普及，许多首席资讯安全长 (CISO) 仍然对 SSCS 感到困惑。组织要么采取「观望」的态度，倾向于依赖基础技术来保护 SSCS，要么像早期采用者一样，零散地应对 SSCS，最终未能获得其承诺的安全保障。

该洞察检验了SSCS 的发展，发现了 SSCS 中的差距，并评估了使 CISO 能够为更广泛的 SSCS 保护做出更明智决策的框架和方法。

Software supply chain security (SSCS) refers to the security solutions, including tools, services, and practices that protect the software development life cycle (SDLC) against cybersecurity attacks covering phases from software development (initial coding and testing) to runtime. Typical vectors that SSCS secures include open-source or third-party components (libraries or frameworks), proprietary code, repositories, development tools, and developer accounts/code-sharing platforms.

SSCS has become vital to organizations' cybersecurity strategy, given the ever-expanding attack surface and rising cyber threats on the software supply chain. Reports of software supply chain incidents, ranging from exploitations of vulnerabilities in third-party code and misconfigured cloud services, have become undeniably common. These attacks include proprietary and commercial codes, and pose security, regulatory, and operational impacts on software producers and consumers.

As the SSCS landscape continuously evolves with technological advancements and cyber threats, SSCS vendors are offering a wide range of capabilities, approaches, and strategies in securing different stages of the SDLC. Some vendors focus on offering shift left solutions, some employ shift right, while others emphasize the post-build and pre-deployment stage of the SDLC.

It is essential that businesses today adopt comprehensive SSCS to secure their software supply chain and ensure sustainable success in this modern digital landscape. However, many CISOs are still confused about SSCS due to its complexity, evolving threat vectors, and the rapid adoption of third-party and open-source components. Organizations either adopted a "wait-and-see" approach and prefer to rely on the basic technologies to ensure SSCS, or are among the early adopters who approached SSCS in a fragmented way and did not reap the promised security.

This insight examines the evolution of SSCS, identifies the gaps in SSCS, and evaluates the frameworks or approaches that enable CISOs to make a more informed decision for broader SSCS protection.
