Attacks can occur at every link in a typical software supply chain, and these kinds of attacks are increasingly public, disruptive, and costly. Being able to see all levels of vulnerability within the supply chain — especially cyber risks — is critical to the success of your business.
With our recent acquisition of Ion Channel, Exiger is the first and only technology company to illuminate every dimension of the supply chain, such as third-party suppliers, vendors, physical products, and software, including SBOM analysis.
C-SCRM focuses on identifying suppliers, hardware and software in an organization’s ecosystem, then assessing their dependencies, and mitigating the vulnerabilities among them.
A growing list of U.S. federal regulations, like EO 14028, require agencies and the companies supporting them to improve their software vetting capabilities.
A key challenge in C-SCRM is knowing where to start. With hundreds of types of software, thousands of suppliers and tens of thousands of pieces of hardware, it’s hard to identify where to make a meaningful, measurable reduction in cyber risk within the supply chain.
“C-SCRM involves identifying, assessing and mitigating the risks associated with the distributed and interconnected nature of IT/OT product and service supply chains.
It covers the entire life cycle of a system (including design, development, distribution, deployment, acquisition, maintenance and destruction) as supply chain threats and vulnerabilities may intentionally or unintentionally compromise an IT/OT product or service at any stage.”
An effective risk management program depends on knowing the cyber risk that a critical third party presents to your organization’s systems. To assess supply chain risk, organizations need information from — and about — each link in the chain, including software.
Complex interdependencies make it nearly impossible to ensure the security of all components and contributors to supply chain. There are several challenges: Using tools that only assess “known vulnerabilities” will miss key supply chain risk events. It is inadequate to only identify the hidden risks that lurk when you inherit, purchase or outsource software capabilities. Another major source of unknown risks is open source software, which, on average, accounts for 75% of codebases.
“From entities to software to raw materials, Exiger’s technology now covers all potential product risk so our customers can regain control of their supply chains”
Prohibited components
Technical debt
Software vulnerabilities
Compromised tool chain
Counterfeit risk
Undeclared package or container inclusions

Time to remediation
Exiger offers a systematic identification of cyber risks to and through the supply chain, prioritization of potential impact analysis, illumination of ecosystem and continuous monitoring of risk exposure. Capabilities encompass the security trust architecture, digital supply chain and cyber-physical systems:
You can also easily monitor risk over time to ensure continuity and compliance with mandates like Executive Order 14028, CISA’s Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) guidance, CMMC, PCI SSC, and NIST.
The technology is built on our experience uncovering risk in business relationships and understanding the core risk factors that might make a particular software, hardware or service untrustworthy – months in advance of known vulnerabilities.
