The Problem

Developers are unknowingly installing malicious packages that steal credentials and infect build environments, often due to compromised maintainer accounts or obfuscated code. Traditional static analysis tools frequently miss these sophisticated, zero-day attack vectors like fake runtimes or hidden preinstall scripts.

Potential Solution

A SaaS tool that wraps package managers in CI/CD pipelines to monitor installation behavior in real-time, detecting unauthorized network connections, file modifications, and process execution. It integrates seamlessly with GitHub Actions and Jenkins to automatically block builds if suspicious activity is detected, preventing malware from entering the codebase.

Why Now?

Supply chain attacks are escalating in frequency and sophistication, with recent campaigns like Shai-Hulud 2.0 infecting tens of thousands of repositories in hours, creating an urgent need for proactive, behavioral-based defense mechanisms.

Applied Scientist, AVM Builder Enablement

Beyond known vulnerabilities, we protect the integrity of the software supply chain itself. Modern software is assembled more than it is written, and every dependency is a potential way in for attackers. Securing it means knowing what's in our software, where it came from and whether it can be trusted. Our work here includes building and analyzing software bills of materials (SBOMs), verifying package provenance and build integrity, and detecting malicious or compromised packages before they rea

Principal Software Engineer – Application Security & AI Trust Architecture

Architect and scale automated security gates in CI/CD pipelines (SAST, DAST, IAST, software composition analysis, container image signing, and SBOM tracking). Define policy-as-code (e.g., OPA/Rego, Cedar) frameworks to enforce deterministic security baselines across service deployments.
