Building on the principles in Rule \#9, enhancing supply chain security involves implementing additional measures to secure the entire lifecycle of container images from creation to deployment. Some of the key practices include

Image Provenance: Document the origin and history of container images to ensure traceability and integrity. SBOM Generation: Create a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for each image, detailing all components, libraries, and dependencies for transparency and vulnerability management. Image Signing: Digitally sign images to verify their integrity and authenticity, establishing trust in their security. Trusted Registry: Store the documented, signed images with their SBOMs in a secure registry that enforces strict access controls and supports metadata management. Secure Deployment: Implement secure deployment polices, such as image validation, runtime security, and continuous monitoring, to ensure the security of the deployed images.
