NIST Issues Guidance on Software Security

February 20, 2024
Reading Time: 3 mins read
in News

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued definitive recommendations for bolstering software supply chain security, providing tangible steps for implementation. These guidelines, outlined in SP 800-204D, advocate for integrating security measures at every phase of the software development life cycle (SDLC). Emphasizing the importance of continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, the guidance aims to fortify the resilience of software against cyber threats.

NIST’s recommendations urge software manufacturers to prioritize actionable measures, including setting baseline security requirements for incorporating open-source software and enhancing oversight of provenance data. The guidance, developed in collaboration with industry stakeholders, builds upon the Secure Software Development Framework and the cybersecurity executive order issued by the administration in 2021. By incorporating input from various sources, NIST aims to provide a comprehensive framework tailored to address the evolving challenges of software supply chain security.

Henrik Plate, a researcher at Endor Labs, commends the timeliness of NIST’s guidance, highlighting its detailed approach in contrast to previous high-level practices. Plate underscores the critical nature of the recommended measures, such as continuous vulnerability scanning and malware detection during pipeline execution, in safeguarding software integrity. The guidance aligns with ongoing efforts to enhance supply chain security and respond effectively to emerging cyber threats across federal agencies and the broader software industry.

As federal software providers prepare for impending self-attestation requirements, NIST’s guidance clarifies expectations and outlines steps to ensure compliance with the Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF). The guidance emphasizes the need for software providers to invest in automated tools and techniques to enhance security throughout the SDLC. By encouraging the integration of security measures into CI/CD pipelines and defining roles and responsibilities, NIST aims to strengthen the overall resilience of software supply chains against potential cyber attacks.
