Unique Approach to Supply Chain Security Problem and Does It Really Well

I love the approach Socket has taken towards solving open source security problems with their subjective analysis and the 70 plus signals they use in analyzing each different package. It's quite unheard of across other vendors in the space, making their analysis quite accurate and simplifying our work. Socket helps us save time in manual reviews of open source packages. It also assists developers in evaluating our existing inventory of open source packages for necessary upgrades or changes. The initial setup was pretty straightforward and easy due to the use of GitHub's connection, making it much easier to roll out across multiple repositories.

Next-generation supply chain security

We consume Socket's package scanning APIs as part of an internal supply chain security platform. Socket has been a fantastic partner: they are reliable, responsive, and the product provides high-signal malware detections in open source packages.
