Secure Software Supply Chain: SBOMs and Trust

Secure Software Supply Chain: SBOMs and Trust A secure software supply chain starts with understanding what is inside every build. An SBOM, or Software Bill of Materials, is a formal record that lists components, libraries, and licenses in a product. It helps teams know who created each part, where it comes from, and how to update it when things change. When a new vulnerability appears, an SBOM makes it easier to find affected parts and plan a fast response. This clarity builds trust with customers and within teams. ...

Edge-to-Cloud Security: A Unified Approach

Edge-to-Cloud Security: A Unified Approach Security teams face a growing challenge as data and devices move between the edge and the cloud. Edge devices, gateways, and cloud services together create a single security environment. Data is born at the edge, travels across networks, and rests in the cloud. If edge and cloud are treated as separate worlds, gaps appear: inconsistent access rules, uneven encryption, and slower incident response. A unified approach keeps protections aligned from the first sensor to the final dashboard. ...

Confidential Computing Protecting Data in Use

Confidential Computing Protecting Data in Use Data in use is the phase when information is processed by a program. It is often the most exposed state, because data travels through memory, CPU, and software paths. Confidential computing combines hardware and software to protect data and code during this processing. By running work inside protected enclaves, it keeps inputs, outputs, and even the processing rules private from the host system. Why this matters ...

Hardware Security: Protecting the Physical Layer

Hardware Security: Protecting the Physical Layer Hardware security is about more than lines of code. The physical layer governs how a device starts, stores secrets, and resists tampering. When hardware is weak, attackers can bypass software defenses or steal keys directly from chips. A clear plan for the hardware helps keep data safe from the first moment a device powers on. Threats to the physical layer come from many angles. Tampering at the board level, counterfeit components, or invasive probes can expose secret keys. Side-channel methods, such as power or timing analysis, can reveal sensitive information without breaking encryption directly. Chips may be cloned or altered during manufacturing or in the field. Keeping a device secure means thinking about all these realities from design to deployment. ...
