The Last Line of Defense for Your Software Supply Chain

The Hidden Threat in Your Code Dependencies

Every npm install and NuGet package download is a potential backdoor into your enterprise. Between 2019 and 2022 supply chain attacks surged 742% and it’s only getting worse. Attackers increasingly target the open-source packages your developers trust most. The SolarWinds, Codecov, and event-stream attacks exposed a harsh reality: your security is only as strong as your weakest dependency.

The typical enterprise downloads thousands of packages monthly. Without visibility and control, each download could deliver malware, data exfiltration tools, or backdoors directly into your production environment.

This isn’t a theoretical risk. The numbers expose the scale of the threat facing every modern development team:
