In an era where software supply chain attacks represent one of the most insidious cybersecurity threats, organizations must adopt robust measures to ensure the integrity and authenticity of their code. Software Trust Manager is a comprehensive, cloud-native solution designed to secure every stage of the software development lifecycle through advanced code signing capabilities, centralized key management, and seamless integration with modern DevOps workflows.
Code signing uses cryptographic signatures to verify that software packages originate from a trusted source and have not been tampered with. Traditional approaches often rely on shared USB tokens or locally stored private keys, which introduce significant vulnerabilities. Software Trust Manager eliminates these risks by storing private keys within Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) that offer tamper-resistant security. All signing operations require multi-factor authentication, ensuring only authorized personnel can access signing credentials.
Beyond key protection, Software Trust Manager incorporates advanced threat detection. Before any binary is signed, the platform performs static and dynamic analysis to identify embedded malware, known vulnerabilities, and anomalous behavior. Once the software passes these checks, a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is generated, providing complete visibility into third-party libraries, open-source components, and dependencies. This SBOM is indispensable for compliance with emerging regulations and for rapidly responding to zero-day vulnerabilities.
Seamless integration with DevOps tools is a core strength of Software Trust Manager. Out-of-the-box connectors and robust RESTful APIs enable automated signing workflows within CI/CD pipelines such as Jenkins, Azure DevOps, and GitHub Actions. Developers initiate signing tasks as part of build jobs without manual intervention, preserving development velocity while enforcing security policies automatically. Hash signing combines the performance of local signing agents with the security of centralized HSMs, enabling rapid throughput for high-volume build environments.
Enterprise scalability is built into the platform’s cloud-native architecture. Whether your organization issues dozens or millions of signed artifacts, Software Trust Manager scales elastically, ensuring consistent performance worldwide. Role-based access controls allow fine-grained permissioning, restricting operations such as certificate issuance, key export, and audit log access to specific teams or individuals. Detailed audit logs record every action—who requested a signature, which certificate was used, and when the operation occurred—supporting forensic investigations and regulatory compliance.
Compliance teams benefit from turnkey reporting features that track key metrics: signed artifact volumes, SBOM inventories, and policy violations over time. Automated alerts notify stakeholders of expired certificates, anomalous signing patterns, or potential SBOM discrepancies. These proactive controls reduce the risk of compliance drift, ensuring alignment with standards such as ISO 27001, NIST SP 800-161, and Software Supply Chain Security guidance.
In addition to binary signing, Software Trust Manager supports code signing for container images, firmware updates, and mobile applications. Organizations can define custom signing profiles, selecting algorithms (RSA, ECC) and hash functions (SHA-256, SHA-3) that meet internal security policies or external regulatory mandates. Integration with container registries (Docker Hub, AWS ECR) automates image signing and verification as part of deployment workflows.
By unifying key management, threat detection, and DevOps integration, Software Trust Manager empowers security, development, and compliance teams to collaborate seamlessly. It transforms code signing from a manual, error-prone process into a fully automated, policy-driven control that enhances software integrity, reduces operational risk, and accelerates release cycles.
Software Trust Manager is a cloud-native platform that centralizes code signing key management in HSMs, enforces multi-factor authentication, and provides automated signing workflows. It ensures only authorized operations and maintains detailed audit logs for compliance.
The solution offers pre-built connectors and a RESTful API for Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, and other DevOps tools. Automated workflows sign binaries within build jobs, preserving development velocity while enforcing security policies.
Software Trust Manager generates Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) for every signed artifact, detailing all components and dependencies. SBOMs provide transparency for vulnerability management and regulatory compliance, enabling rapid incident response.
Before signing, binaries undergo static and dynamic analysis to detect malware, vulnerabilities, and anomalous behavior. Only code that passes these checks is signed, preventing distribution of compromised software.
Yes, its cloud-native architecture scales elastically to handle from dozens to millions of signing operations globally. Role-based access controls and detailed audit logs ensure security and performance at any scale.
