What You’ll Learn in This Webinar
Are cyber threats embedded in packages sneaking past your security radar? For threat actors, the sharp upward trajectory of malicious package attacks looks like manna from heaven. But for those charged with protecting the software and applications that run our global economy, the news is anything but heavenly. Recent research observed a 315 percent increase from 2021 to 2022 in the publication of malicious packages to open-source registries such as npm and rubygems. This significant spike is further evidence of the growing security threat malicious packages pose to the open-source ecosystem. Unfortunately, most companies are only now beginning to explore technology that can defend against malicious packages, and for many, the barn door has been open a little too long. Join our panel of application and software security experts as we discuss strategies for addressing the malicious packages threat vector.
