From Devastation to Innovation

On December 13, 2020, the world of cybersecurity faced a seismic shift. The SolarWinds attack unfolded, emerging as the most significant software supply chain breach in history, impacting over 18,000 organizations worldwide.

Fortune 500 companies, healthcare organizations, financial firms, and even key U.S. government agencies fell victim to this highly sophisticated attack. Hackers gained unrestricted access to networks, enabling them to steal, corrupt, and dismantle valuable data assets.

The repercussions were staggering, with insured losses exceeding $90 billion, and an average cost of $12 million for affected companies. This cyber espionage event, believed to involve a foreign government, triggered a paradigm shift in the perception of software supply chain vulnerabilities.

Government agencies and businesses were compelled to reevaluate their security strategies, reinforcing the significance of Zero Trust and DevSecOps principles.

In response to this wake-up call, U.S. President Joe Biden signed Executive Order 14028, establishing the NIST 800-218 Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) and OMB M-22-18. These groundbreaking measures mandated that companies selling software or software-containing products to the U.S. Federal Government ensure the integrity of their software offerings.

Similar regulations have been enacted globally, emphasizing the criticality of cybersecurity across borders. Amid this critical turning point, our team swiftly rose to the occasion, inventing CodeLock within days of the SolarWinds attack.

CodeLock garnered unprecedented recognition and an endorsement from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), acknowledging its ability to combat sophisticated criminal malware and hostile nation-state cyber-attacks."CodeLock appears to have the capability to stop the most sophisticated criminal malware. With respect to cyber-attacks from hostile nation-states, CodeLock would also be effective.” - DHSCodeLock
