February Highlight
Featured in Forbes | Venafi Stop Unauthorized Code Solution Protects Software Supply Chain
“Venafi’s ability to streamline [the software development] process while minimizing the burden on security teams is a game-changer, offering flexibility and enhancing compliance and security.” – Steve McDowell, NAND Analyst
Our new Stop Unauthorized Code Solution is designed to address the rising complexities of software development security, specifically targeting unapproved code and combatting software supply chain attacks.?
It provides end-to-end security for code signing processes, dynamic certificate-based app control, and rigorous certificate verification to allow only authentic and unaltered software to execute.
“As part of Ferguson’s ongoing efforts to build and improve our DevSecOps tools and automation, we are integrating Venafi’s Stop Unauthorized Code Solution for its end-to-end capabilities for Kubernetes container signing, signature verification, policy configuration and enforcement, and runtime verification to prevent the execution of unsigned or tampered images.” – Shawn Irving, CISO, Ferguson

“With the widespread adoption of generative AI, we are likely to see AI supercharging election interference in 2024. From the creation of convincing deepfakes to an increase of targeted misinformation, the concept of trust, identity and democracy itself will be under the microscope.”
Left unchecked, deepfakes could have us doubting our very eyes. Learn more about emerging deepfake dangers, as well as how we expect them to play a crucial role in the politically charged new year.
In the last few years, we’ve seen a 742% increase in software supply chain attacks, which have cost the global economy $46 billion.
Through a robust, end-to-end solution from Venafi and Nirmata, you can stop unauthorized code and protect your Kubernetes clusters from unapproved image execution.
