Built on Trust: How Leading Manufacturers Are Securing the Software Supply Chain

Securing the Manufacturing Software Supply Chain

Modern manufacturing runs on software: firmware, containerized automation, AI-driven quality control, and supplier components. However, most organizations lack visibility into what’s actually shipping. This white paper breaks down the critical software supply chain security challenges manufacturers face today, and how industry leaders are closing the gap.

What you’ll learn:

• Why no one knows exactly what’s shipping, and the compliance risk it creates
• How to cut through CVE noise with contextual, reachability-based vulnerability analysis
• Closing the open-source governance gap before unvetted components enter your pipeline
• Getting firmware and updates to the factory floor without creating a new attack vector
• Why AI models on the factory floor need the same security scrutiny as any other software artifact
• Real-world results from Siemens, VIAVI Solutions, and Panasonic HVAC
