Socket
A company specializing in software supply chain security. It provides real-time security analysis and threat detection for open-source dependency packages, helping development teams defend against malicious attacks via NPM, PyPI, and similar package ecosystems.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The DevTools protocol implements bidirectional asynchronous communication over sockets, making Playwright faster and natively asynchronous.
According to Infosecurity Magazine, the SANDWORM_MODE worm discovered by Socket writes malicious MCP servers into the local configurations of Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code Continue, and Windsurf, and harvests API keys from nine LLM vendors.
The Software Factory reference architecture, jointly developed by Keycard, Docker, Barclays, Socket and Aaron Stanley, defines four boundaries: identity and access, supply chain, sandbox, and network.
Tools such as npm audit, Socket, and Snyk can perform automated security checks on dependencies.
Software supply chain attacks are entering a phase of full-scale outbreak.
Frontier models are dramatically compressing the time between vulnerability discovery and exploitation, potentially making exploit code available the same afternoon a vulnerability is disclosed in the morning.
