Securing the software supply chain

Mitigate open source, licensing, and build-time risks with intelligent supply chain security

80%
of security incidents originate from third-party software vulnerabilities, underscoring the need for effective management[1]

Overview

Diagram of a secure DevOps software supply chain with icons for development, testing, deployment, and security

Modern software relies on open source and third-party components, accelerating development but introducing significant security, compliance, and legal risks. Organizations face limited visibility into their software supply chain, manual processes that slow down development, and inadequate secure package selection policies.

OpenText™ secures the software supply chain by integrating open-source governance, DevSecOps automation, and policy enforcement into developer workflows. Teams can manage risks and ensure regulatory and SBOM compliance throughout the secure software development lifecycle.

Address critical software supply chain security challenges

  • Open source risk management

    With countless open source dependencies, teams have trouble tracking vulnerabilities and license risks. Automatically discover, scan, and classify dependencies at scale to reduce manual overhead, enforce policy, and minimize exposure.

  • Vulnerable or untrusted package prevention

    Developers under pressure often select risky or non-compliant packages, increasing downstream remediation costs. Evaluate packages before use to help teams avoid vulnerable components, enforce security policies, and build secure code from the start.

  • Regulatory compliance and customer requirements

    Fragmented data and manual tracking make it hard to prove compliance with mandates like EO 14028 and FedRAMP. Monitor SBOMs and enforce policies across the SDLC to meet regulatory requirements and customer expectations with confidence.

  • Zero-day vulnerabilities

    When zero-days emerge, teams lack clear insight into which apps are affected, delaying response. Pinpoint impacted components instantly with full dependency context, enabling faster triage, targeted remediation, and minimized business risk.

  • Software value chain liability

    Customers and partners increasingly require proof of secure development practices. Demonstrate integrity and compliance by enforcing policy-controlled intake, tracking components, and maintaining full traceability across the software supply chain.

  • CI/CD pipeline security

    Security checks are often bypassed in fast-paced pipelines, leading to vulnerable releases. Automatically scan every build and pull request, seamlessly integrating into CI/CD workflows to prevent risk without slowing innovation.

  • Security and compliance management

    Disparate tools and data silos make it difficult to understand overall risk and compliance status. Centralize visibility across applications and services with dashboards that track vulnerabilities, license exposure, and policy adherence.
