What does innovation mean to you?
To us innovation is making a meaningful improvement over the state-of-the-art.
What ways has your company innovated and/or created meaningful impact?
Modern digital products and services are developed using open-source software. However, bad actors leverage highly sophisticated techniques such as social engineering to “supply” purposefully harmful code (malware) and carry out software supply chain attacks.
Our technology, built over the years based on cutting-edge cybersecurity research, can vet millions of open-source packages for such cybersecurity threats, and generate detailed composition and risk assessment reports, thereby empowering software developers to make informed decisions when sourcing untrusted third-party code.
What else do you want people to know about your company?
We vet millions of open-source packages for vulnerabilities and malware threats, and generate detailed composition and risk assessment reports, thereby allowing developers to make informed and data-driven decisions when adopting untrusted third-party open-source code.
