Patent attributes
A computer-implemented method for providing supply-chain trust networks may include (1) identifying a computational partnership between a primary computing entity and a partnered computing entity, wherein the primary computing entity and the partnered computing entity are under separate control and the partnered computing entity handles at least one computing resource to be used by the primary computing entity, (2) receiving, from a computing environment controlled by the partnered computing entity and with permission from the partnered computing entity, security data that comprises information about at least one security characteristic of the computing environment, (3) analyzing the security data to make a security determination about the computing environment controlled by the partnered computing entity, and (4) providing, in response to identifying the computational partnership, the security determination about the computing environment to the primary computing entity. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
