Ion Channel

The Ion Channel's software supply chain security and automation platform continuously ingests software supply chain data. Ion Channel ingests, creates and monitors a Software Bills of Material (SBOM) for thousands of software products and components, analyzes supplier risk metrics and automates pass/fail security rules. The Ion Channel platform is purpose built for software supply chain assurance, risk management and monitoring at scale to help enterprises more deeply understand the extent of their supply chain attack surface and to differentiate suppliers based on security posture and time to remediation. Ion Channel's metered business model keeps SBOMs continuously monitored at an affordable price, with no seat licensing and full API access to detailed supply chain data that can flow into Security Operations Centers (SOCs), configuration management (CMDB), software asset (SAM) systems and procurement systems (3PR, TPRM and GRC). This data can be shared and exchanged between customers and suppliers, regulators, auditors and accreditors to enable end-to-end supply chain risk management. Ion Channel's automated verification of active software maintenance and supplier security response allows customers to enforce terms and conditions related to software supply chain risk management and cyber hygiene, and to preferentially select suppliers who meet security criteria on an ongoing basis.
