Socket

Socket is a cybersecurity platform that protects companies from software supply chain attacks. Companies use Socket to protect their software applications and critical services from malware and security threats originating in open source code.

Open source code makes up 90% of most codebases. It is critical to manage it effectively to reduce your organization's security risk. It's no longer sufficient to scan for known vulnerabilities (CVEs) and stop there.

Socket dramatically improves your open source security posture by detecting and blocking the attacks you don't expect – malware, hidden code, typo-squatting, and more – which aren't caught by CVE vulnerability scanners.

Socket improves security outcomes and reduces work for security teams by surfacing actionable security information directly inline in GitHub so developers are empowered to make better decisions.
