Google SLSA & NIST SSDF: Emerging Software Supply Chain Security Best Practices

While defacto standard for securing software supply chains does not exist, best practices to improve application security posture are starting to emerge. We have many frameworks to choose from, including NIST SSDF, Google/OpenSSF SLSA, Gartner, Mitre & OWASP. While none of these frameworks are individually comprehensive. They enable us to compile a complete set of best practices.

MITRE SoT

Official Site

MITRE’s System of Trust (SoT) is a recently announdced framework designed to help evaluate suppliers, supplies, and service providers; this is done to help mitigate software supply chain attacks. MITRE ATT&CK is a globally-accessible knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques based on real-world observations, and has helped formulate the SoT.
