Strengthen your CI/CD pipeline with new Secure Source Manager capabilities
TL;DR
Google Cloud has introduced new capabilities in its Secure Source Manager to enhance the security of CI/CD pipelines. This update aims to protect source code from increasing software supply chain threats.
✦ Why It Matters
Implement Secure Source Manager today to protect your source code from rising supply chain threats.
Key Takeaways
- Block unauthorized access to CI/CD systems immediately.
- Utilize the new Code Owners feature for granular approval management.
- Integrate Developer Connect for secure CI/CD connections.
- Follow the Private Network Integrations guide for enhanced security.
How It Works
The Secure Source Manager (SSM) enhances CI/CD security by implementing unified authentication and authorization mechanisms. It blocks unauthorized access across the entire CI/CD pipeline, from version control to deployment tools.
The Code Owners feature allows teams to specify approval requirements for code changes at a granular level, using flexible path specifiers and branch-specific rules. This structure enables sub-teams to manage their own code while maintaining overall control.
