Software Supply Chain Security Begins With Absolute and Rapid Clarity

You can’t manage what you can’t see. Build a software asset inventory that allows you to understand and manage software supply chain risk, set policies and controls, and act quickly when the next compromise happens.

These Attacks Changed Software Supply Chain Security.

Supply chain crises are rarely invisible — they are obscured by noise and blind trust. These are the incidents that defined the problem. Here’s how NetRise changes the timeline.

CASE NO. 01  //  SOCIAL ENGINEERING

The XZ Utils Backdoor

A malicious actor spent years cultivating trust to embed a backdoor into core infrastructure, triggering days of manual, panicky dependency tracing across the industry.

Log4j / Log4Shell

SolarWinds

3CX

The Invisible Network

Modern software is assembled, not just built. 80% of your vendor’s software was written by people you don’t employ — open-source contributors your current security process has no visibility into.

The Hidden Inheritance

Risk doesn’t announce itself. It arrives silently through dependencies, embedded in components no one declared and no manifest captured — long before you think to look.

Empowering the Gatekeepers

You shouldn’t spend your time chasing vendors. NetRise gives you the evidence and automation to stop risk before it enters — and act with confidence when it does.

Why NetRise

Two Software Supply Chain Security Products.
One Platform. One Complete Answer.

Turbine maintains the inventory of what’s actually running. Provenance scopes how far the risk reaches when something’s compromised. Together, the NetRise Platform answers both questions before the window closes.

Is It in My Environment?

NetRise Turbine maintains an inventory of what’s actually executing across your environment — not what was declared, but what was built and shipped. So when a supply chain incident emerges, you already know whether a component is present, whether it runs, and what to remediate first.

What’s the Blast Radius?

When a component, package, or maintainer is compromised, NetRise Provenance scopes how far the risk propagates — upstream to its source, downstream across every dependent package, repository, and organization — so you can pinpoint exactly where you’re exposed. And when you’re not in an incident, Provenance’s Policy Engine makes sure you never get there.

How It Works

One SBOM. Ten Layers of Visibility.

NetRise Turbine surfaces components, misconfigurations, license and crypto risk, and vulnerabilities. NetRise Provenance reveals dependency relationships, supplier health, contributor tracing, geo risk, malicious package detection, and blast radius. Together, nothing in your software supply chain stays hidden.

Use Cases

Built for Software Builders and Software Buyers.

From blocking compromised packages in CI to scoping blast radius when one gets through — NetRise gives software builders and buyers the evidence to act at every stage.

Product Security

Detect malicious packages and enforce policy at intake and in the CI/CD pipeline — so compromised or non-compliant dependencies never reach your builds. Then validate what actually made it into your compiled artifacts, giving engineering teams defensible evidence of what’s in their software, not just what their manifests say should be there.

Third-party Risk Management

Before accepting vendor software, know what’s actually inside it — not just what they declared. Analyze compiled artifacts directly, surfacing vulnerabilities, exposed credentials, misconfigurations, and license risks that vendor SBOMs and attestations routinely miss.

Incident Response

Compress exploit containment windows from days to seconds. When a critical supply chain vulnerability emerges, query your entire environment to map the blast radius, identify exactly which assets contain the affected component, and remediate with confidence — not guesswork.
