Problem
Organizations face increasing risks from vulnerabilities and compliance violations in their software supply chains, particularly with the growing use of containers and open-source components. Traditional security measures often lack the granularity and automation needed to effectively manage these risks across the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC). This can lead to delayed remediation, increased exposure to attacks, and difficulty in meeting regulatory requirements.
Solution
Anchore provides an SBOM-powered software supply chain management platform that enables continuous security and compliance for cloud-native applications. Anchore Enterprise generates and manages Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) across the SDLC, providing visibility into software components and dependencies. The platform continuously scans for vulnerabilities, malware, and secrets, and enforces policies to ensure compliance with industry standards like NIST and FedRAMP. By integrating with existing DevOps tools and workflows, Anchore helps development and security teams collaborate effectively to identify and remediate risks early in the development process, reducing the attack surface and ensuring a more secure software supply chain.
Target Audience
Anchore's primary customers are enterprises, software vendors, and public sector organizations that need to secure their software supply chains, automate compliance, and reduce the risk of vulnerabilities in their cloud-native applications.
