ABOUT THE SERVICE
Meticulous Dependency Inspection
Open-source dependency management is a critical concern for protecting systems, data, and users from security threats. Your dependencies might be riddled with malicious code that can attack your supply chain and affect the entire system. Addressing this goes beyond having the right tools, requiring tailored solutions to adapt and respond to evolving threats.
Our experts identify hidden and potentially malicious libraries in your open source ecosystem through in-depth code analysis and discern its nature. This is reinforced with captured with Indicators of Compromise (IOC) and essential artifacts before delivering a detailed report.
Key Benefits
Designed for Better Security
Proactive Risk Mitigation
Our approach is specifically tailored to identify risks in open-source libraries in npm, pypi, maven, ruby, golang and several other ecosystems.
Advanced Detection Techniques
We go beyond simple detection by conducting a thorough examination of potential threats, addressing the complexities introduced by various emerging obfuscation techniques and encryption algorithms.
High Volume Management
Our team is capable of handling a substantial number of packages identified as anomalies by AI engines, a task that typically needs more time and effort to investigate and improve the detection algorithm.
Research Ready
Our talent pool of skilled threat researchers are always available to be recruited at a moments notice, streamlining research and analysis while reducing response time.
Dependency Defense FAQs
What is dependency defense in software supply chain security?
Dependency defense is a security approach that detects malicious or compromised open source libraries using deep code analysis, behavioral monitoring, and threat intelligence.
How is dependency defense different from Software Composition Analysis (SCA)?
Software Composition Analysis identifies known vulnerabilities, while dependency defense detects hidden malicious code, suspicious behavior, and zero day threats in open source packages.
How do attackers exploit open source dependencies?
Attackers inject malicious code into libraries, use typosquatting techniques, or compromise maintainers to distribute malware through trusted ecosystems like npm and PyPI.
Which ecosystems are supported in dependency defense?
Dependency defense supports major ecosystems including npm, PyPI, Maven, RubyGems, and Golang packages.
Can dependency defense detect zero day threats?
Yes, dependency defense uses behavioral analysis and threat intelligence to detect unknown and zero day threats in open source dependencies.
How often should dependencies be scanned?
Dependencies should be scanned continuously as part of CI CD pipelines to ensure real time detection of new threats.
Who needs dependency defense services?
DevSecOps teams, application security teams, SaaS providers, and enterprises using open source software benefit from dependency defense services.
Why is dependency defense important for DevSecOps?
Dependency defense helps secure the software development lifecycle by identifying risks early and preventing software supply chain attacks.
