Today’s attackers aren’t just exploiting vulnerabilities — research from Malicious Packages Special Report: Attacks Move Beyond Vulnerabilities illustrates the growing threat of malicious packages. According to the report, the number of malicious packages published to npm and rubygems alone grew 315 percent from 2021 to 2022.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently implemented new guidance regarding medical device cybersecurity. It’s not a moment too soon, as new cases arise in which healthcare technology is compromised by vulnerabilities that escalate risks, which could threaten patients’ lives. In a recent survey, over 20% of healthcare organizations said that after a cyberattack, their patient mortality rates had risen, and another 57% reported that cyberattacks led to poorer outcomes for patients.
Two new sets of regulations introduced by the European Union (EU) indicate that the public sector is taking increased interest in improving cybersecurity and resilience. The EU is introducing the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) for financial institutions and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) for software and hardware providers, both designed to enforce software security and secure delivery of services.

We've been expanding the feature set as we approach general availability to include more flexibility and to incorporate hands-off automation capabilities, allowing users to leverage CBIR in their CI/CD pipelines.
