Software Supply Chain
Security Platform
Every application you ship contains hundreds of components you didn't write. Each one is a potential entry point for attackers. Offensive360 gives you complete visibility across all five supply chain attack vectors — open source vulnerabilities, malicious packages, license risk, first-party code flaws, and IaC misconfigurations — in a single scan.
Generate SBOM reports, enforce dependency policies in CI/CD, and get composite risk scores for every dependency — capabilities competitors charge extra for or omit entirely.
How a supply chain attack unfolds
From the SolarWinds build injection to the XZ Utils backdoor — every major supply chain attack follows the same five-phase pattern. Understanding it is the first step to stopping it.
Upstream Compromise
Attacker poisons an open-source package or gains CI/CD pipeline access at an upstream supplier.
e.g., event-stream, ua-parser-js, PyTorch nightlySilent Distribution
Malicious code ships inside a legitimate package version. Package registries sign and distribute it normally. No security alert fires.
e.g., SolarWinds build system, XZ Utils backdoorDependency Pull
Your developers run `npm install` or `pip install`. The malicious dependency lands in your codebase automatically — no human review.
Transitive deps: 1 package pulls 50+ othersBuild-Time Execution
Malicious install scripts or postinstall hooks execute arbitrary code during your CI/CD build — before any runtime security kicks in.
e.g., Log4Shell in build toolingProduction Impact
Backdoored software ships to production. Attackers execute remote code, exfiltrate credentials, or establish persistent access. Blast radius is every customer of every affected organization.
Avg breach cost: $4.88M (IBM 2024)What Checkmarx and most SCA tools miss
Most SCA tools only flag Phase 1 — known CVEs. They have no detection for Phase 2 (malicious packages with no CVE), no SAST coverage for Phase 4 (build-time code execution), and no IaC scanning to harden the pipeline itself. Offensive360 covers all five phases in a single platform scan.
What an SBOM actually contains — and why it matters
Executive Order 14028 and the EU Cyber Resilience Act require organizations selling software to governments to produce SBOMs. But beyond compliance, an SBOM is your first line of defense: when a new critical CVE drops at 2 AM, you can answer "are we affected?" in seconds rather than days.
Offensive360 generates SBOMs in both CycloneDX and SPDX formats — the two industry-standard schemas — and enriches each component record with real-time vulnerability data, license classification, and behavioral malware signals. Not just a static inventory, but a living risk dashboard.
The library identifier as registered in the package ecosystem.
Exact pinned version — unlocked ranges hide real exposure.
Maintainer identity — relevant for typosquatting and account takeover risk.
License obligations. AGPL/GPL in commercial code is a legal risk.
Current vulnerability status pulled from NVD, OSV, and GitHub Advisory.
Cryptographic integrity — confirms what was actually installed matches the registry.
Direct vs transitive. 80% of CVEs live in transitive dependencies.
Behavioral analysis flags — obfuscated code, exfiltration patterns, install hooks.
Hover any field to see why it matters. Output formats: CycloneDX JSON, SPDX 2.3.
How Offensive360 covers all 5 supply chain attack vectors
No other on-premise SAST platform covers this many vectors in a single deployment. No separate SCA tool subscription. No additional agent. One scan, full coverage.
Open Source Vulnerabilities
Known CVEs in direct and transitive dependencies. Includes severity scoring, EPSS exploit probability, and fix availability.
SCA engine scans all package manifests (npm, pip, Maven, Gradle, Composer, Gemfile, Go modules, NuGet, Cargo). Cross-references NVD, OSV, and GitHub Advisory Database in real time.
Malicious Packages
Packages that contain deliberate malware, obfuscated data exfiltration code, cryptominers, or backdoors — regardless of CVE status.
Behavioral analysis engine inspects install scripts, postinstall hooks, and network call patterns. Detects typosquatting via name-distance analysis against top-10,000 packages.
License & Legal Risk
Copyleft licenses (GPL, AGPL, LGPL) that impose viral obligations on your proprietary code. Non-standard or restrictive licenses in commercial products.
License detection across 400+ SPDX identifiers. Flags GPL/AGPL in commercial repositories, dual-licensing conflicts, and missing attribution requirements.
First-Party Code Vulnerabilities
SQL injection, XSS, insecure deserialization, hardcoded credentials, and 150+ other vulnerability classes introduced by your own developers.
Full SAST analysis across 12+ languages (C#, Java, JS/TS, Python, PHP, Ruby, Go, C/C++, Swift, Kotlin, Dart, Apex). Taint-flow analysis traces user input to sinks across function boundaries.
Infrastructure as Code Misconfigurations
Insecure Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, and Dockerfile configurations that create the attack surface your supply chain sits on.
IaC scanning detects overly permissive IAM policies, exposed storage buckets, unencrypted data stores, missing network segmentation, and 200+ cloud-specific misconfiguration rules.
One risk score. Five signals. Zero guesswork.
A CVSS score alone doesn't tell you whether to drop everything and patch today or schedule it for next sprint. A CVSS 9.8 with zero public exploits and no affected code path is less urgent than a CVSS 6.5 that's actively exploited in the wild and calls through your public API.
Offensive360 computes a composite risk score for every dependency by weighting five independent signals. The result is an actionable priority queue — not a list of 847 vulnerabilities sorted by CVSS with no guidance on where to start.
How supply chain scanning works in Offensive360
Four steps from code commit to a prioritized, remediation-ready risk report.
Connect your repository
Link your GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, or Jenkins project. Or upload a zip. Offensive360 auto-detects every package manifest in the repo tree.
Resolve the full dependency graph
Offensive360 resolves transitive dependencies to full depth — not just your package.json, but everything it pulls in. 80% of CVEs live three levels deep.
Multi-signal analysis
Each dependency is checked against CVE databases, behavioral malware patterns, license SPDX classifiers, and your first-party code is analyzed with full SAST taint-flow.
SBOM + prioritized report
Receive a CycloneDX/SPDX SBOM, a prioritized vulnerability queue with composite risk scores, and fix recommendations — all in under 10 minutes for most projects.
The on-premise advantage competitors can't match
Cloud-based SCA tools require uploading your dependency manifests and source code to their servers. For organizations handling classified data, financial records, or proprietary algorithms, that's a non-starter.
Offensive360 deploys as a self-contained OVA inside your own VMware or KVM infrastructure. Your code never leaves your network. Your SBOM data stays yours. Air-gapped deployment is fully supported — critical for defense, government, and regulated financial environments.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about software supply chain security and how Offensive360 addresses it.
What is software supply chain security?
Software supply chain security is the practice of protecting every component that goes into building and deploying software — including open-source dependencies, build tools, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure configurations. A supply chain attack compromises one of these upstream components to inject malicious code into downstream software without the target organization's knowledge.
What is an SBOM and why do I need one?
A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is a machine-readable inventory of every component in your software, including dependencies, their versions, licenses, and known vulnerabilities. Executive Order 14028 (US) and EU Cyber Resilience Act require SBOMs for software sold to government. Even outside regulation, SBOMs let you answer "are we affected by this new CVE?" in minutes rather than days.
How is supply chain security different from traditional SCA?
Traditional SCA focuses on known CVEs in direct dependencies. Supply chain security is broader: it covers transitive dependencies, malicious packages with no CVE, license compliance, SBOM generation, IaC misconfigurations that expose your pipeline, and first-party code that processes untrusted supply chain data. Offensive360 addresses all five vectors in a single scan.
Does Offensive360 work on-premise without sending code externally?
Yes. Offensive360 deploys as a self-contained virtual appliance (OVA) that runs entirely within your network. Source code, dependency manifests, and scan results never leave your infrastructure — essential for air-gapped environments, government contracts, and organizations with strict data residency requirements.
Can Offensive360 detect the Log4Shell and SolarWinds class of attacks?
Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228) is detected by our SCA engine via the Log4j version in your dependency tree, plus by SAST taint-flow analysis that traces untrusted input to JNDI lookup sinks in first-party Java code. SolarWinds-style build pipeline attacks are addressed by our IaC scanning (securing the CI/CD configurations) and malicious package detection (behavioral analysis of any packages introduced during the build).
