Description:

Socket is a new security company that can protect your most critical apps from supply chain attacks. We are taking an entirely new approach to one of the hardest problems in security in a stagnant part of the industry that has historically been obsessed with just reporting on known vulnerabilities. Socket is built by a team of open source maintainers with over 1 billion monthly downloads. Everyone on the Socket team is an open source maintainer. We are all driven to defend the open source ecosystem from supply chain attacks and make it safe for everyone. Socket is unique because, unlike other tools, it detects and blocks supply chain attacks before they strike, mitigating the worst consequences.
