## What it is
The CNCF Security Technical Advisory Group (TAG Security), a community that produces knowledge, whitepapers, threat-modeling guidance, and security assessments for cloud native ecosystems. It is not software but a curated body of security publications, catalogs, and reference architectures.

## Use cases
- learn cloud native security best practices
- find supply chain compromise case studies
- threat model an open source project
- assess security of a cloud native application
- reference architecture for securing software supply chains
- understand cloud native security lexicon and controls

## When to choose
- you need authoritative guidance on cloud native security
- you are evaluating the security posture of a CNCF project
- you want supply chain security whitepapers and catalogs
- you want to participate in cloud native security community work

## When to avoid
- you need runnable security tooling or code
- you need project-specific vulnerability scanning
- you want a library or CLI to integrate into a build

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
