Improved Security

Automation plays a key role in proactive remediation of violations and ensuring compliance.

Organizations need to ensure that their software supply chains, as well as the software they are producing, are secure and up to date. Every organization has specific targets for security in its software development process. Some organizations must meet stringent regulatory requirements, often requiring specific tool sets or processes to do so.

To enhance the speed and security of software delivery, organizations must shift left and prioritize security configurations early in the development pipeline. By automating processes during development, iteration, and deployment, teams can boost productivity, streamline operations, and enhance container platform observability and application security. Organizations should also implement test-driven development—an approach that looks at production code from the perspective of test code—which allows for high software quality and faster application delivery.

The Tanzu Application Platform supply chain, provided out of the box, is fully modular, so you’re free to change the details to fit with your corporate standards or to integrate with other products, such as code analysis or scanning tools. And best of all, this works on any Kubernetes flavor, on any cloud, including on-premise, and can even help you to streamline the DevEx of your serverless applications or the distribution of software packages to the right clusters or clouds as defined for a given release.

The results can have a big impact: developers experience fewer delays in their day-to-day work, driving a lowered time to market and a proactive approach to managing vulnerabilities early in the cycle rather than after deployment.

Tanzu Application Platform provides:

Test & Build -Delivers end-to-end secure software supply chains, with its components pre-instrumented to work seamlessly out-of-the-box for developers to build and deploy applications automatically.
Scan, Sign, and Store - Operators configure the software supply chain with security and compliance (components for building, testing, scanning, and deploying) baked in to take the committed code to production.

Tanzu Labs helps to build out Secure Software Supply Chains with automation and teaches Developers skills in Test Driven Development that help to “shift left” security practices.
