Socket
Detect and block attacks in your open-source dependencies.

Socket integrates with GitHub to scan pull requests and dependencies for security risks, including malware, typo-squatting, and hidden code. It can be configured to send webhook notifications to alert teams of critical security issues found in their software supply chain, making it a key tool for securing modern development workflows.
