Signed Containers and SLSA Improve Software Supply-Chain Trust
Technology teams are moving quickly in software supply chain, but useful adoption depends on understanding both the opportunity and the operational risk.
What is changing
A vulnerability scanner cannot prove that an artifact came from the expected repository or build process. Provenance provides evidence about how software was produced.
What technology leaders should do
Use isolated builds, generate provenance, sign artifacts and verify policy before deployment rather than after an incident.
The practical goal is not to adopt every new capability. It is to choose a clear use case, establish measurable success criteria, and build security and accountability into the system from the beginning.
