About

The rapid adoption of containerization introduces security risks, making it imperative for organizations to implement robust security measures throughout the container lifecycle to prevent vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that could lead to breaches or data loss. It comes as no surprise that the software supply chain becomes often the target of high-profile attackers, such as state-sponsored cyber-terrorism groups, which launch advanced persistent attacks that are very hard to detect and with widespread impact.

SecCon will use as starting point Linux Foundation's Sigstore tools, as integrated in ExcID's open-source Software Transparency as a Service (STaaS) platform to increase the security of the container images used in aerOS through traceability. StaaS provides and immutable, auditable, non-blockchain-based log, leveraging open-source TRL-9 components developed by Google, currently supporting planet-scale workloads.
