Migrating from Generic to Custom Attestations: A zero-trust approach to compliance

The kosli attest generic CLI command can attest anything, but unlike a “typed” attestation (such as kosli attest snyk), it does not calculate a true/false compliance value for you. Customers have reported that while a generic “escape hatch” is useful, it nevertheless has some drawbacks: Based on this feedback we’ve implemented a new attest command called kosli attest custom.

Businesses today face a barrage of digital threats that can compromise sensitive information and disrupt operations. Cyberattacks are not a distant possibility but a present concern that demands robust defenses. Organizations of every size must invest time and resources into understanding vulnerabilities and building resilient systems.

Moving to a zero-trust model with Kosli's custom attestations

The Kosli CLI provides several attest commands, such as kosli attest snyk, kosli attest jira, etc. These attestations are “typed” - each one knows how to interpret its own particular kind of input. For example, kosli attest snyk interprets the sarif file produced by a snyk container scan to determine the true/false value for that individual attestation.

How to make Kosli generic attestations using the kosli-attest-generic command

All but one of the kosli attest commands calculate the true/false compliance value for you based on their type. For example, kosli attest snyk can read the sarif output file produced by a snyk scan. The one that doesn’t is kosli attest generic which is “type-less”. It can attest anything, but Kosli cannot calculate a true/false compliance value for you. Often the tool you are using can generate the true/false value, which is then easy to capture.
