Cybernews interview with our CEO about code signing and how it relates to software supply chains and current cyber threats cybernews.com/security/stefa…
More on Sunburst: what can we do to prevent this kind of supply chain attacks in the future? about.signpath.io/blog/2020/… Reviews, secure build chains... and SignPath, maybe, to make sure reviews and security are in place before code signing.
Most in-depth SunBurst analysis we've seen so far: blog.reversinglabs.com/blog/… Build systems and code singing are primary targets for suply chain attacks, allowing hackers to "evade millions of dollars of security investment" at their eventual targets. 1/4

Connecting build systems to HSMs is not enough, nor are specialized HSM proxies dressed up as code signing solutions. We need policy management & enforcement, airtight & verifiable integration from source code to build to signing. That's what we do. 4/4

While SignPath can help with driver cross-signing, attestation *and* HLK signing, customers express concern about consequences of Microsoft dropping cross-signing for good osr.com/blog/2020/10/15/micr… via @OSRDrivers /cc @vcsjones @clairernovotny
Let's get all that great OSS code signed, shall we?
These folks been providing #GitExtensions project with a cert for the past year, and have extended their support for another 3! Totally recommend them

Big thanks to @SignPathIO and @paul__savoie - the MSBuild Log Viewer installer is now signed! SignPath is generously providing a certificate for my open source project. Hope the install experience will be less painful now.
