As any other US software maker, Microsoft is bound by the “Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity” which dictates a clear mandate to “enhance the software supply chain security” and to generally improve the cyber security practices. To fulfill the executive order, software companies need to enforce new policies and practices on many projects and engineering teams within relatively short periods of time. One challenge is to build up comprehensive inventories of software artifacts which can be tedious and fragile as software eco-systems change rapidly. Required is a system that will constantly monitor and update the inventory of software artifacts and contributors so that at any given point of time. The front line of this security battle includes the product team around the data mining platform CloudMine1 providing the security and compliance teams with engineering artifacts and insights into artifact dependencies and engineering practices of the corresponding engineering teams.
