Challenges
The organization had invested in firewalls, encryption, and intrusion detection, but lacked code signing practices and monitoring for unusual network activity. Software updates could go out without any check on authenticity or integrity, leaving the supply chain open to tampering, key theft, and code injection.
Private keys unprotected and vulnerable to theft
Unauthorized code signing certificates
Misplaced trust in keys and certificates
As the organization scaled its retail operations, the need for a secure, automated code signing process became critical to protect millions of customers and maintain trust in every software deployment.
