Supply chain Levels for Software Artifacts (SLSA) is a security framework that assists in ensuring the integrity of software artifacts throughout the software supply chain. The Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) introduced SLSA in 2021 to protect software from sources through deployment by helping organizations to counter critical threats. SLSA provides a model for improving supply chain security and integrity, and offers guidance for solving issues related to developer or build systems as exploitable security vectors.

Deliver secure software changes at scale and deploy to production with speed and compliance.

Kosli records an easily searchable history of all your changes from commit to production, so you can quickly find the change you need. Move beyond GitOps and understand how your pipelines and environments are really changing.Continuous monitoring in your runtimes and pipelines:

  • Release software with continuous compliance and zero day audits: Kosli records changes in your environments and pipelines as they happen. Get compliance status in real time and export all the evidence you need for an audit to CSV.
  • Track deployments with full cycle security: Kosli connects what’s running in production with what was qualified in your pipelines. Get alerts for undocumented workloads and any deviations from your security policies.
  • Pinpoint the exact change you need when you need it: Kosli gives you a searchable database of every change made to your systems. Get the answer you need by asking better questions in the browser or the command line.
  • Real-time observability for devs and engineers: Tired of trying to figure out which change broke everything? Need to know where your commit is? Get the ability to see how your environments and pipelines are actually changing and quickly locate the change you need.

Faster changes. Stronger security. Painless audits.
