Supply Chain Monitoring

Supply Chain Monitoring offers insights into the effectiveness of your Lifecycle instance in protecting your open source supply chain.

This is where you can review the health of your open source component supply chain periodically, and take corrective actions. The visualizations on this dashboard enable users to:

  1. Check Lifecycle adoption rate

  2. Better manage critical vulnerabilities using Lifecycle

  3. Monitor the extent of protection offered by Lifecycle on applications

The Supply Chain Monitoring Dashboard is updated on a weekly basis.

Apps Onboarding

This section indicates the increase or decrease in the number of applications being managed by Lifecycle, It provides a comparison of the number of applications being scanned and evaluated against Lifecycle policies in the current and previous time periods.

To improve this score, refer to Application Onboarding Best Practices.

Risk Ratio

Risk Ratio is the average number of critical vulnerabilities per application per time period. It provides a comparison of the risk ratio measured in the current and previous time periods.

To improve this score, refer to Remediate and Reduce Security Risks.

Scanning Rate

Scan Rate indicates the average no. of scans per applicaiton in one month. It provides a comparison of the scanning rate measured in the current and previous time periods.

To improve this score, refer to Improve Scanning Rate.

Scanning Coverage

Scanning Coverage indicates the percentage of applications scanned at least once per week. It compares the current scanning coverage to the previous, to indicate if the recommended best practice of scanning applications at least once per week, has improved or declined.

To improve this score, refer to Improve Scanning Coverage.

Discovery Rate

Discovery Rate indicates the number of critical vulnerabilities detected by Lifecycle in the specified time period. It compares the current discovery rate to the previous. An increase in the discovery rate means that teams need to reconsider their component choices or consider applying waivers. A decrease in the discovery rate indicates that the component choices are getting better.

To improve this score, refer to Use Safer Components.

Fixing Rate

Fixing Rate indicates the percentage of critical vulnerabilities fixed per application in the specified time period. It compares the current Fixing Rate to the previous to indicate an improvement or decline in the teams efforts of addressing critical vulnerabilities.

To improve this score, refer to Remediating Vulnerabilties.

Backlog Rate

Backlog Rate is the ratio of critical vulnerabilities fixed to critical vulnerabilities detected during the specified time period.

A Backlog Health score below 100 indicates that remediation is slower than the discovery rate.

To improve this score, refer to Improve Backlog Rate.
