Reliability includes supply chain.
Continuous SBOM, SLSA L3+ provenance, signed images, runtime guardrails, and break-glass workflows that respect your error budget. Security that doesn't break the SLO.
What your week looks like today.
The recurring friction this role absorbs before any of it becomes someone's roadmap item.
Your last incident was a transitive dep that broke at runtime — your scanner flagged it 14 weeks ago.
Image promotion gate fails because three CVEs in a base image you didn't pick.
An emergency hotfix needs to bypass the security gate; the break-glass procedure is undocumented.
Audit asks: was THIS image signed by THIS pipeline? Five tools, no clean answer.
Cursor agents are merging to main on weekends; nobody's mapping the risk.
Compliance asks for runtime evidence. You point at three dashboards.
Benefits, by use case.
Line by line — what each use case does for your specific role.
| Use case | Benefit to you | Metric |
|---|---|---|
| Build provenance | SLSA L3+ for every image, Sigstore-signed. | L3+ |
| Runtime protection | Guard enforces policy at the workload. | Inline |
| Drift detection | Real-time IaC + manifest drift in your existing alerts. | Real-time |
| Break-glass workflow | Auditable bypass with policy + expiry. | Audited |
| Zero-CVE images | Distroless base images that don't fail your gate. | 0-CVE |
| SLO-friendly security | Reachability suppresses non-impactful blockers. | 80% ↓ |
| AI agent runtime | MCP capability scopes respect runtime IAM. | IAM |
| Continuous SBOM | Per-release inventory for every running service. | Per release |
