Supply Chain Security

Understands basic Supply Chain Security concepts. Follows security guidelines. Recognizes typical code vulnerabilities.

Understands basic SBOM concepts: software bill of materials formats (SPDX, CycloneDX), dependency tracking, and license compliance fundamentals. Follows security guidelines for reviewing dependency vulnerabilities using automated scanning tools. Recognizes common supply chain attack vectors.

Knows what SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) is and why it is needed for supply chain security. Can generate SBOM with Syft or SPDX tools.

Applies SBOM and supply chain security practices in CI/CD pipelines: integrates SCA tools (Snyk, Grype, Trivy), enforces license policies, and automates vulnerability patching workflows. Conducts security reviews of dependency trees and evaluates third-party component risks for production applications.

Applies Supply Chain Security in daily work. Conducts security code review. Uses scanning and analysis tools.

Integrates SBOM generation into the CI/CD pipeline. Configures dependency vulnerability scanning (Grype, Trivy). Implements vulnerability management workflow.

Designs security solutions with Supply Chain Security. Conducts threat modeling. Implements security practices in SDLC. Mentors the team.

Designs security solutions with Supply Chain Security. Conducts threat modeling. Introduces security practices into SDLC. Mentors the team.

Designs comprehensive supply chain security for the organization: SBOM, signed artifacts, SLSA compliance. Implements artifact signing with Sigstore/cosign.

Defines supply chain security strategy: establishes SBOM generation standards, SCA tool governance, and dependency management policies across the organization. Coordinates incident response for supply chain compromises. Trains development teams on secure dependency practices and SLSA framework adoption.

Defines DevSecOps supply chain security strategy: establishes SBOM automation pipelines, artifact signing policies (Sigstore, in-toto), and dependency allowlisting governance. Coordinates cross-team response to supply chain incidents. Trains teams on software provenance verification and SLSA compliance.

Defines supply chain security strategy. Makes decisions on SLSA compliance level. Manages vendor risk assessment. This skill is critically important for successful performance in the role.

Defines enterprise supply chain security architecture: shapes SBOM standardization across business units, evaluates emerging provenance technologies (SLSA, VEX, SCITT), and drives regulatory compliance strategy. Represents the organization in industry security groups and influences supply chain security standards.

Defines corporate Supply Chain Security strategy: SLSA Level 3+, SBOM generation (Syft/CycloneDX) for all artifacts, in-toto attestations. Designs Sigstore integration for signing and verifying the entire software supply chain. Introduces policy-as-code for automated provenance verification.

Shapes software supply chain security standards for the organization. Participates in SLSA framework development. Influences industry security practices.
