Scribe Security: Eliminating Software Supply Chain Vulnerabilities with Automated Protection

In today’s digital economy, software powers nearly every aspect of business. From online banking to internal analytics, organizations rely on complex codebases—many of which include open-source and third-party components. The 2025 Open Source Security and Risk Analysis (OSSRA) Report found that open source software is nearly universal in commercial apps, appearing in 97% of those analyzed and in 87% of codebases. Additionally, 86% of codebases had open source vulnerabilities, and 81% contained high- or critical-risk issues. But these efficiencies come with risk: high-profile incidents like SolarWinds and Log4j have exposed how attackers exploit gaps in software supply chains to infiltrate networks undetected.

As a result, frameworks like NIST’s Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF), Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) guidelines, and Executive Orders 14028 and 14144 are driving a new security imperative: continuous, verifiable trust across the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and the software supply chain.

Scribe Security, built for the software factory, takes this a step further by securing software supply chains with zero-trust attestations, continuous signing, and automated policy enforcement within DevOps workflows. Instead of relying solely on post-deployment threat detection, the company proactively prevents unauthorized changes and misconfigurations before they become security threats. Their AI-driven solutions, including the AI-powered security agent Heyman, enhance risk mitigation and ensure compliance, by —flagging misconfigurations, prioritizing risks, and even generating JIRA tickets for remediation, thus enabling businesses to maintain secure and resilient software. Leading this mission is CEO Rubi Arbel, whose expertise in cybersecurity and software security frameworks drives the company’s vision of making software inherently secure.

Founding Scribe Security

Scribe Security was founded as a response to the increasing vulnerabilities in software supply chains. The founding team, with a background in cybersecurity and cryptographic services, recognized that many organizations lacked the frameworks and tooling necessary to secure the broader software supply chain, which extends beyond the SDLC to include third-party libraries, build environments, and delivery pipelines.

Recognizing this critical gap, Scribe Security was established in 2021. The growing reliance on third-party components, open-source software, and complex DevOps pipelines made software supply chains a prime target for attackers. The SolarWinds attack, one of the most high-profile supply chain breaches in history, further underscored the urgent need for a proactive and automated security solution.

Leveraging deep expertise in cryptography, zero-trust models, and automation, Scribe Security built a platform designed not just to detect threats, but to protect the entire software supply chain from source to deployment. Furthermore, Scribe Security can also benefit companies that are less advanced or mature in developing their software supply chain security.

A key challenge in the early stages was market education. Many organizations underestimated the risks associated with software supply chains, believing traditional security measures were sufficient. Scribe Security took a proactive approach, raising awareness about how vulnerabilities in supply chains can be exploited and demonstrating how its solutions help mitigate these risks. Another priority was ensuring seamless integration into existing DevOps workflows, allowing organizations to strengthen security without disrupting productivity.By integrating into DevOps environments without disrupting workflows, they have become a trusted partner for SDLC and software supply chain security.

Proactive Security

Scribe Security focuses on supply chain security at the source, stopping threats before they propagate through the pipeline. It integrates real-time security into the software supply chain using automation, attestation, and policy enforcement to reduce risk and accelerate secure development.

Key features include:

• Prevention Over Detection: Rather than just identifying vulnerabilities after they occur, the platform prevents insecure configurations and unauthorized changes before they become risks.
• Automated Compliance & Security Controls: Security enforcement is automated, minimizing human error and improving efficiency.
• Seamless Integration: Security is embedded directly into existing DevOps workflows, ensuring a smooth development process without added complexity.

By embedding these protections into the software supply chain, Scribe Security enables software to be secure by design—not just secure by patching.

Securing the Software Supply Chain at Every Stage

Scribe Security’s platform integrates into CI/CD environments to protect every link in the software supply chain:

• Prevent Tampering: Through cryptographic code signing, provenance tracking, and integrity verification.
• Automate Compliance: Aligns with SSDF, SLSA, EO 14028/14144, PCI DSS, and other mandates.
• Enforce Policy-as-Code: Implements security guardrails without slowing down development.
• Enable Real-Time Risk Mitigation: Identifies vulnerabilities, enforces gating, and accelerates remediation.

Future-Proofing Software Security

Traditional application security has relied on scanners like Snyk, Checkmarx, Veracode, and Black Duck to detect vulnerabilities. Later advancements aggregated scanner results to assess overall risk. Scribe Security goes beyond the SDLC, introducing security controls that span the full software supply chain, including infrastructure-as-code, pipelines, dependencies, and artifact distribution.

Scribe Security’s approach ensures:

• Comprehensive Protection: Secures code artifacts, CI/CD toolchains, configurations, and SDLC processes.
• Attack Prevention: Detects misconfigurations and CI/CD attacks, ensuring secure code reviews and preventing last-minute risks.
• Automated Security Enforcement: Blocks insecure processes and unauthorized changes before deployment.
• Built-In Compliance: Ensures all production-ready products meet mandatory security standards.

Additionally, Scribe Security offers a Trust Center, allowing organizations to securely and transparently share security attestations, SBOMs, and vulnerability disclosures with customers and regulators, strengthening trust and ensuring compliance.

Protecting Sensitive Customer and Infrastructure Data

Scribe Security serves security-conscious organizations that understand the business risk of supply chain attacks. Their customers include:

• Enterprises with compliance mandates (e.g., SSDF, SLSA)
• Vendors that ship software and need to verify code integrity
• Companies handling sensitive infrastructure or customer data (BFSI, Telecom, Aviation)
• Teams looking to improve efficiency by automating security in the software supply chain

Their solutions are built for mid-market to large enterprises with complex security and compliance requirements across software ecosystems.

Ensuring Developers Have the Right Security Support

Rubi advises that security leaders need to take a closer look at their responsibility for the software their companies produce. Many have shifted security tasks to developers, which makes sense given that most security professionals lack development experience. However, the ultimate accountability still rests with security leaders. The challenge is finding the right balance—maintaining control over software security while ensuring that developers have the support they need.

Staying Competitive Through Innovation

Innovation is central to Scribe Security’s growth strategy. With the rise of AI, the company has developed protections for models, datasets, and machine learning pipelines. The AI-powered agent Heyman acts as a virtual DevSecOps engineer, helping teams identify threats, prioritize responses, and accelerate resolution.
