Description

Roundup of Recent Federal Guidance and Requirements for Securing the Software Supply Chain


This IDC Market Note discusses the software supply chain security–related actions taken by the U.S. federal government in February and March 2024. Recent directives and initiatives by U.S. federal agencies like NIST and CISA highlight a strong emphasis on securing the software supply chain. This includes integrating security into CI/CD pipelines, securing open source software, and ensuring software developed for government use meets stringent security standards. These efforts respond to the increasing number of software supply chain attacks and aim to bolster national and economic security."The overall direction of the recent U.S. government efforts emphasizes the need for a more holistic approach to supply chain security," said Katie Norton, research manager, DevSecOps and Software Supply Chain Security at IDC. "The aim is to reduce the attack surface by implementing robust security measures across all aspects of the software development and deployment process, highlighting the importance of a comprehensive strategy to mitigate risks in the software supply chain."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
