Anchore today announced strong results in the software supply chain security market over the last year. With concerns about the security of the software supply chain driving demand for automated tooling and a rise in SBOM adoption across the industry, Anchore has delivered new product capabilities, seen exploding adoption of its open source tools, and continued to proactively prepare its customers and organizations for inevitable future breaches and hacks.
Software Supply Chain Security Focus
2021 started with the fallout of the SolarWinds SUNBURST attack and ended with multiple exploits against the Log4j zero-day vulnerability, highlighting the critical importance of securing the software supply chain. According to the Anchore 2022 Software Supply Chain Security Report, 62 percent of organizations were affected by a software supply chain security attack last year. Software suppliers face increased risk with 73 percent impacted by an attack.

The report also highlights that organizations are responding to these risks with 54 percent placing a heavy focus on securing the software they build and use. While the U.S. Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity highlights the software bill of material (SBOM) as a critical foundation for supply chain security, 76 percent of organizations plan to increase use of SBOMs next year. The importance of SBOMs, combined with the need for automated tooling and continuous security checks in the development process, is driving significant growth in Anchore’s software supply chain management solutions.
“Recent security breaches have catapulted the topic of software security to the forefront of business conversations everywhere. Software supply chain security does not just impact the software industry, today every organization needs to bolster their security practices to reduce risk in their cloud-native applications,” said Said Ziouani, CEO of Anchore. “Last month’s Log4j zero-day vulnerability underscores the need for organizations to use SBOMs and automated tooling to reduce the risk of successful attacks and speed remediation of the next zero-day vulnerability.”
