Supply Chain Risk

Major security breaches like SolarWinds, Log4j, and many others have made software supply chain security an urgent topic for most enterprises. The increasing reliance on third-party software components, open-source libraries, and complex development ecosystems has introduced new vulnerabilities and risks that go beyond traditional security controls.

AppSOC plays a pivotal role in enhancing software supply chain security by consolidating SCA findings, mapping them to application hierarchies, prioritizing issues based on business risk, automating remediation workflows, and tracking performance through SLAs.

Comprehensive Visibility and Monitoring

A core challenge in supply chain security is maintaining visibility over all the components and dependencies used in developing code. AppSOC consolidates findings from all major software composition analysis (SCA) tools and provides comprehensive monitoring and visibility across the entire software supply chain, including tracking the usage of third-party libraries and open-source components.

APPLICATION HIERARCHY

Correlate Dependencies Across Components

Vulnerabilities in commonly used libraries and third-party components can generate a flood of data from scanning tools. AppSOC precisely maps findings to the application hierarchy, accurately identifying issues affecting libraries, microservices, cloud resources, hosts, or entire business units. This data can be consolidated or drilled into, to pinpoint core issues and reduce repetitive alerts.

THREAT INTELLIGENCE

Enrich and Manage Vulnerabilities

AppSOC ingests and correlates findings from hundreds of disparate security tools. It enriches these findings with threat intelligence from EPSS, CISA KEV, VulDB, and the NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD). This proactive approach allows organizations to address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by malicious actors.

INCREASE EFFICIENCY

Reduce Noise & Prioritize Findings

Many security teams struggle to keep up with the flood of vulnerability data across tools. AppSOC automatically eliminates 95% of the noise and alert fatigue from redundant and low-priority alerts, dramatically reducing the time for analysts to identify, respond, and remediate critical threats.

AppSOC goes far beyond limited CVSS scores by evaluating the severity, exploitability, and potential impact of vulnerabilities within specific environments. This approach ensures that the most critical risks are addressed first. AppSOC’s advanced algorithms factor in the business context, helping security teams focus on vulnerabilities that pose the greatest threat to the organization’s assets and operations.

fix issues & track results

Automate Remediation Workflows

Effective prioritization also streamlines remediation efforts, ensuring that security measures are both effective and efficient. AppSOC automatically alerts all stakeholders and provides rich contextual detail and automated remediation workflows that integrate with existing CI/CD tools, ITSM systems like Jira and ServiceNow, and notification systems like Slack and PagerDuty. This streamlines the process of tracking and resolving security issues.

end to end GOVERNANCE

Continuous Compliance & Improved Collaboration

AppSOC ensures that organizations maintain continuous compliance by monitoring and enforcing security policies and controls. It provides detailed audit trails and compliance reports that demonstrate adherence to standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, and GDPR. This not only helps in meeting regulatory requirements but also strengthens the overall security posture of the organization.

Promoting secure development practices is a key component of AppSOC's approach to software supply chain security. It provides developers with the tools and guidance needed to write secure code and avoid common security pitfalls. By embedding security into the development lifecycle, AppSOC helps organizations build secure software and remediate issues early.
