Anchore

Anchore is a cybersecurity company focused on software supply chain security, container security and software bill of materials management. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, Anchore develops technologies that help organizations understand what is inside their software and identify risks before applications reach production. Its platform supports SBOM generation and management, vulnerability scanning, policy enforcement and compliance workflows across container images and software artifacts. Anchore is especially relevant to DevSecOps teams that need security controls integrated into CI/CD pipelines rather than applied only after deployment. The company has worked with government and enterprise organizations and has participated in federal software supply chain security initiatives. Anchore Enterprise provides centralized visibility into software components and enables teams to establish policies around vulnerabilities, licenses and other supply chain risks. Its technologies support cloud-native environments including containers and Kubernetes. Anchore also contributes to open-source software security projects and standards that improve software transparency. The company’s approach helps organizations build repeatable controls for identifying vulnerable dependencies, enforcing release policies and maintaining evidence for compliance. As software supply chain attacks continue to grow, Anchore provides security teams with tooling to inventory software components and manage risk throughout the development lifecycle.
