Today we're thrilled to announce the launch of our newest offering: Determinate Secure Packages. A drop-in replacement for Nixpkgs, it offers secure, signed, auditable Nix packages for the enterprise, including CVE monitoring and SLA-backed remediation, per-release SBOMs, optional FIPS-compliant builds, packages cached in FlakeHub Cache, cryptographic signing, and more.

We're excited to announce the release of FlakeBOM, a CLI for generating CycloneDX SBOMs from Nix flakes. Lightning-fast and complete with VEX metadata and support for a wealth of information not provided by other tools, it's truly the perfect complement to Determinate Secure Packages ❄️ ⚑ πŸ“¦ πŸš€ Read more at the link in thread 🧡 πŸ”— πŸ‘‡

One of our favorite things about Determinate Secure Packages as developers ourselves is that adoption doesn't involve refactoring or building out an awkwardly fitting integration. You just swap out a flake reference to get started and then `nix flake update` to imbibe a steady stream of security fixes. That's really it πŸ“¦ πŸ” ❄️ πŸš€ determinate.systems/secure-p…

Nobody goes to work saying "I can't wait to achieve compliance today." But like it or not, cryptography standards like FIPS are non-negotiable if you want to work with many US federal agencies, so better to make it all as painless as possible. We're confident that we've done precisely that with Determinate Secure Packages, which offers FIPS-140-2-compliant variants of Nixpkgs as drop-in replacements. Swap a flake reference and immediately get to work with FIPS-friendly OpenSSL, NSS, and much more. Find out more here πŸ”— πŸ‘‡ determinate.systems/secure-p…

Did you read that last tweet and think, "That's neat-o, but what about FedRAMP?" We'll have much more to say about the Determinate platform and FedRAMP very soon, so stay tuned πŸ‘€ πŸ” ❄️ πŸš€

The supply chain story in our industry has been pretty rough lately, eh? Wily vulnerabilities, scarily sophisticated exploits, vast attack surfaces, and woefully uneven remediation (if any!) have put us all on edge. We at Determinate Systems are at work tackling this problem in a major way, and this week we're going to tell you a whole lot about it. More info in thread πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

On Thursday, we'll tell you about a brand new tool we've built called FlakeBOM, a CLI that builds CycloneDX-compatible SBOMs from from Nix flakes, opening up a new universe of security-related workflows around Nix 🍁 πŸ“œ So much fun supply chain stuff happening on our side that we couldn't resist devoting an entire week to it, so stay tuned πŸ“‘

Nix adoption often starts with one developer solving reproducibility problems for themselves and then introducing it at work, where the question becomes: how can Nix be made reliable and secure for teams? Determinate Systems co-founder and CTO @grhmc recently joined the Open Source Ready podcast to talk about Nix at work and much more. Take a listen 🎀 ❄️ πŸš€ heavybit.com/library/podcast…

We believe that Nix is set to revolutionize the software supply chainβ€”and amidst a flurry of high-profile supply chain lapses, the timing couldn't be better ❄️ πŸ” πŸ“¦ Our own @lucperkins explains why on the Determinate Systems blog. Link in thread 🧡 πŸ”— πŸ‘‡
