# Secure Software Supply Chain

Understanding and mitigating vulnerabilities in your path to production helps to strengthen your security posture by allowing you to address vulnerabilities more quickly, reducing risk in your software pipeline, and allowing developers to deliver secure software more quickly and at scale.

## Why VMware Tanzu 

Improve automated tooling and implement DevSecOps practices so you can securely and reliably ship high-quality code to production and fix security vulnerabilities faster.

### Build ideas on a secure platform

Best-in-class tools like [VMware Tanzu Platform](https://www.vmware.com/products/app-platform/tanzu) and VMware Tanzu Application Catalog help make software secure by design.

### Implement DevSecOps practices

Implement [DevSecOps](https://www.broadcom.com/topics/devsecops) practices so you can securely and reliably ship high-quality code to production.

### Deploy code faster with less friction

Consulting services from VMware Tanzu Labs help [establish processes](https://www.vmware.com/docs/solution-overview-build-a-secure-software-supply-chain-with-vmware-tanzu-labs) that provide greater collaboration between development and security teams.

## Solve Your Toughest Challenges

Addressing these five areas of concern will allow you to integrate security in your software development process and help to mitigate software supply chain attacks.

- Secure Code
- Manage Apps
- CI/CD
- Image Build
- Secure Runtimes

### Secure Application Source Code

Pre-configured templates and App Accelerators ensure developers are using the most up-to-date and secure libraries, container images, APIs, and other dependencies.

### Manage App Dependencies

Select from an extensive library of open source software components, and use our extensive collection of buildpacks to build apps.

### Secure CI/CD Systems

Tanzu Platform provides a deploy time policy to allow app operators to introduce policy in their Tanzu Platform supply chain (CI/CD) that blocks any unsigned images.

### Secure Image Build and Registry

Tanzu Platform builds images and automatically patches them when their dependencies fall out of date, reducing time to remediate CVEs at scale.

### Secure Runtimes

With Tanzu Platform, developers get easy access to preconfigured clusters that meet compliance and security requirements. Tanzu Platform helps secure workloads, microservices, APIs, and data in transit, preventing attackers from sniffing network traffic.
