Securing CI/CD for an open source project, part 3: Credentials, verification, and what’s next
This is the third and final post in a series on how Cilium hardens its CI/CD pipeline. Part 1 covered access control and Part 2 covered dependency hardening. This post covers the last layer: keeping CI...
The increasing sophistication of software supply chain attacks necessitates a focus on hardening development pipelines, especially for critical open-source projects like Cilium.
Securing CI/CD pipelines is crucial for maintaining the integrity and trustworthiness of open-source software, which forms the backbone of much of today's digital infrastructure.
This ongoing effort by projects like Cilium demonstrates a growing industry-wide emphasis on comprehensive CI/CD security, moving beyond basic controls to more robust verification and credential management.
