Strong supply chain monitoring, great customer service

Socket has many security features, but they're especially strong at monitoring for supply chain attacks. They are also very proactive in customer support, responding very quickly to our needs.

An Innovative SCA Approach for Software Supply Chain Risk

Socket.dev is a high-leverage part of a software supply-chain risk program. It reliably surfaces integrity and operational risks in third-party libraries and helps our teams make better decisions, faster. Its source-first analysis surfaces real operational and supply-chain risks, well beyond CVE lists, and enables acting both proactively and reactively. Deployment scales cleanly, ROI is clear for security and engineering, and the product roadmap is impressively aligned with industry direction.

Broad coverage and rapidly emerging capabilities

We first started to take an interest in Socket thanks to its industry-leading malware detection and blocking capabilities in the supply chain security space. However, with how much they've been adding to the product, it's quickly becoming our tool of choice for all supply chain vulnerability management. They have a lot coming that I'm excited about, they've been responsive to feedback, and they've been iterating pretty quickly. I'm optimistic about the ability to auto-fix vulnerabilities.
