Announcement

This preliminary draft of Volume C of SP 1800-34, Validating the Integrity of Computing Devices, includes specific product installation, configuration, and integration instructions for building the example implementation. By releasing each volume of the practice guide as a preliminary draft, we can share the progress made to date and use the feedback received to shape other volumes of the practice guide.

Ensuring the Integrity of the Cyber Supply Chain

Technologies today rely on complex, globally distributed and interconnected supply chain ecosystems to provide reusable solutions. Organizations are increasingly at risk of cyber supply chain compromise, whether intentional or unintentional. Cyber supply chain risks include counterfeiting, unauthorized production, tampering, theft, and insertion of unexpected software and hardware. Managing these risks requires ensuring the integrity of the cyber supply chain and its products and services. This practice guide can benefit organizations who want to verify that the internal components of their computing devices are genuine and have not been altered during the manufacturing and distribution process.
