"A New Linux Tool Aims to Guard Against Supply Chain Attacks"

Chainguard has launched Wolfi, a Linux distribution designed specifically for how digital systems are built today in the cloud. According to Chainguard principal engineer Ariadne Conill, Wolfi works well for enterprises looking to address supply chain security. Wolfi functions smoothly with other Chainguard tools to assist developers in securely expanding and adding to the software in their container. The stakes are high in software supply chain security, particularly in open source environments where there are generally fewer resources to invest in improvements, and governments have begun to take the problem seriously. The Biden administration issued an executive order in May 2021 addressing software supply chain security imperatives. The US Office of Management and Budget (OMB) recently issued specific supply chain security guidance to federal agencies. This article continues to discuss the new Linux tool Chainguard has created to help organizations defend the cloud against supply chain attacks.
