Editorial Analysis
The growing volume of novel supply-chain attacks means enterprises relying solely on known-bad signatures face a widening blind spot — behavioural analysis closes the gap.
Add behavioural analysis tooling (runtime sandboxing of new dependencies) alongside your existing SAST/SCA pipeline to detect zero-day supply-chain threats.
Signature-only dependency scanning leaves a growing blind spot for novel supply-chain attacks — behavioural detection is needed.
