What is a software supply chain attack?

Attackers compromise trusted tools like libraries or scanners, injecting malware that spreads via your builds and steals creds for more hits.

How to secure software supply chain?

Pin deps to SHAs/digests, use cooldowns on updates, generate signed SBOMs, enforce 2FA on registries, and sandbox CI/CD.

Will Docker Hardened Images stop all attacks?

They block short-lived poisons with verified builds and cooldowns, but layer with full verification for total defense.
