Software supply chain security protects your dependencies and deployment workflows from vulnerabilities. Vulnerability assessment works by scanning direct and transitive dependencies to identify known security risks and improper configurations before release.

You can check your CI/CD pipeline for untrusted code execution by auditing your workflows for permission issues. A security review identifies risky practices in your pipeline configuration to prevent unauthorized access and code execution during deployment.

To analyze transitive dependencies for security vulnerabilities, perform a comprehensive dependency analysis. This process inspects your entire dependency tree, checking for known vulnerabilities and ensuring your software supply chain remains secure for release.

Yes, you can audit deployment settings to check for secrets exposure and verify the integrity of your release processes. A deployment security review identifies exposed credentials and ensures your deployment configurations follow secure practices.

You need to perform a dependency analysis when preparing a new release to ensure your software supply chain is secure. It is essential whenever you add new dependencies or want to verify that your existing CI/CD pipelines are free from known vulnerabilities.

Automated supply chain security reviews are limited to identifying known vulnerabilities and improper configurations in dependencies and workflows. They may not detect zero-day exploits or complex logical flaws in custom CI/CD pipeline scripts without known risky patterns.
