Wipro collaborates with Lineaje to secure open-source software supply chains

Wipro Limited has announced a strategic collaboration with Lineaje, a US-based software supply chain security company, to bolster enterprise security around open-source components in software applications. The initiative is supported by an investment from Wipro Ventures, the corporate investment arm of Wipro, underscoring the company’s commitment to addressing critical vulnerabilities in modern software development.

Wipro plans to integrate Lineaje’s Open-Source Manager and SBOM360 Hub into its services, offering enterprises an advanced solution to continuously identify and mitigate risks in their software ecosystems. Lineaje’s technology provides detailed insights into the components of software, including identifying known and hidden dependencies, and assessing associated risks and vulnerabilities. This granular analysis enables enterprises to validate the authenticity of their supply chains, eliminate vulnerabilities at the source, and address potential compromises proactively.

Wipro Engineering Edge Vice President Nikos Anerousis highlighted the growing prevalence of supply chain attacks, which often exploit third-party vendor services and open-source software dependencies. He noted that the partnership combines Wipro’s expertise in risk and compliance with Lineaje’s AI-driven capabilities to enhance software lifecycle security and safeguard enterprises from emerging threats.

Javed Hasan, CEO of Lineaje, emphasized the critical importance of proactive risk management in safeguarding businesses and their customers. He stated that Lineaje’s mission aligns seamlessly with Wipro’s efforts, expressing enthusiasm for the collaboration and its potential to redefine software supply chain security.

This partnership signifies a broader validation of Lineaje’s innovative approach to managing software risks. Through this joint effort, Wipro and Lineaje aim to help enterprise customers centralize software supply chain risk management and effectively address vulnerabilities identified by the Lineaje platform.
