Socket

Socket is a developer-first security platform that proactively detects and blocks software supply chain attacks in open-source dependencies.

Traditional vulnerability scanners rely on slow, reactive CVE databases, often leaving teams exposed for weeks after a malicious package is published. Socket changes the game by using deep static analysis and machine learning to inspect the actual behavior of dependencies in real time. It flags over 70 risk signals (including hidden code, telemetry, typosquatting, and sudden API changes) directly inside GitHub pull requests. By blocking attacks before code hits production, Socket protects over 1.5 million repositories and secures 11 million commits monthly without slowing down engineering workflows.
