Safety | Software Supply Chain Firewall & Security (original) (raw)
Trusted by Security-Conscious Organizations Worldwide
Existing security tools don't protect you from supply chain threats.
SCA and EDR tools don't protect you from malicious packages. In 2024 alone, over 500,000 malicious packages were detected - a 156% increase from the previous year.
Stop Supply Chain Attacks At the Source
Prevent Vulnerable Packages at First Install
Safety Firewall stands between your development machines and public package repositories, blocking malicious or vulnerable dependencies before they enter your systems. Setup takes less than 1 minute and requires no changes to your existing workflows or package manager commands.
- Real-time analysis of every package installation
- Works seamlessly with existing package managers
- No change to existing workflows or commands
Focus on the Threats That Matter
With the number of new vulnerabilities increasing by 120% yearly, teams need smart prioritization. Safety combines severity, exploitability, and reachability analysis to identify which vulnerabilities pose actual risk to your code.
Safety Platform allows teams to configure and apply security policies, view the results and status of every vulnerability scan, monitor package installations across environments, and remediate vulnerabilities.
- Eliminate 80% of vulnerability noise
- Clear, actionable remediation steps
- Prioritize based on actual project risk
CLI Security Scanning at Every Stage
Safety CLI delivers versatile, comprehensive dependency security scanning at every stage of development.
- Vulnerable, malicious and non-compliant package detection.
- Developer machines, CI/CD, and Production systems.
- Auto-application of fixes to reduce time to remediate.
Industry-Leading Security Intelligence
Our cybersecurity team and AI-powered analysis track changes across millions of packages, detecting vulnerabilities 4x more comprehensively than public databases. Every fix is verified by security experts to ensure accuracy.
- 4x more vulnerabilities than public databases
- AI-powered package analysis and monitoring
- Expert-verified vulnerability data
Cut Through Vulnerability Noise
With new vulnerabilities increasing by 120% annually, teams are overwhelmed. Safety helps you focus on what matters by analyzing actual risk in your code context. Our intelligent analysis combines severity, exploitability, and reachability data to identify which vulnerabilities truly need your attention.
- CVSS, EPSS and Package Health analysis
- Reduce alert fatigue by 80% with smart prioritization
- Precise reachability analysis shows real exposure
- Clear, actionable remediation guidance
- Comprehensive project security dashboards
Secure Without Changing Your Workflow
Safety installs at the OS or container level, intercepting package installation requests before they reach public repositories. This enables real-time analysis of every package without requiring changes to your existing commands or workflows. Run 'pip install' as usual - Safety handles the security automatically.
The Most Comprehensive Security Intelligence Available
While other solutions rely solely on public vulnerability databases, Safety's cybersecurity team proactively monitors every new package and code change for security risks. Our AI-powered analysis detects vulnerability signals that others miss, verified by security experts to ensure accuracy and actionability.
- 4x more vulnerabilities detected than leading solutions
- Real-time monitoring of every package release
- AI analysis of code changes and package behavior
- Expert-verified fixes and remediation steps
Prevention vs. Detection
Why a firewall approach matters for supply chain security
Prevention-First Security (Safety)
- Block vulnerable packages before installation
- Real-time protection at the source
- Industry's most comprehensive vulnerability db
- No changes to existing workflows
- Focus on actual risk with 80% less noise
- Verified fixes and actionable remediation
- Enterprise-ready with minimal overhead
Traditional Post-Install Scanning
- Detect vulnerabilities after installation
- Delays between scans leave systems exposed
- Limited to public vulnerability databases
- Requires new tools and commands
- Overwhelming volume of alerts
- Manual triage and remediation
- Complex implementation and maintenance

Customer Reviews
“We are an Enterprise SaaS platform that provides yield management and ERP-like tools for podcast publishers. Our yield prediction makes heavy use of data-science toolsets.
"We transitioned from the free Snyk scanning to Safety because of the recommendation of one of our lead developers. And we have loved it.
"We needed to significantly scale up our security readiness and Safety is now a key part of how we scan our libraries for vulnerabilities. But what I most love is the reporting on licensing issues as this is an easy-to-overlook risk to any cloud-based business. And we love how easily we can integrate Safety it into our github workflows.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I read technical documentation?
Does Safety work with Github?
Yes! Safety is built to work with most commonly-used development systems, including GitHub, GitLab, Docker, BitBucket, and more. For GitHub specifically, Safety has a GitHub Action that makes implementing Safety scans into your CI/CD workflow a breeze.
Why is scanning in CI/CD alone not advised?
Attack vectors like typosquatting mean that a single typo in an install command can expose developers to malicious packages or critical, exploitable vulnerabilities. For example, this malicious package was downloaded over 1,300 times. Even though PyPI took it down, those machines were still infected until the package was detected and removed. This is why scanning in CI/CD is too late: Development machines must be protected from the installation of such packages at the source.
Safety is designed to provide end-to-end protection against vulnerable, malicious, or non-compliant open-source packages. Whenever a developer tries to install an open-source library, the request is routed through Safety and either allowed or blocked based on the policy you have applied. This ensures only packages that meet your security requirements are installed.
Why is CVSS Not Enough for Assessing Vulnerabilities?
CVSS is useful for measuring vulnerability severity but lacks critical context like exploitability, reachability, and real-world impact. High scores can lead to alert fatigue, while lower-scored vulnerabilities may still pose serious risks.
Safety goes beyond CVSS by manually verifying vulnerabilities and incorporating additional intelligence and reachability analysis, ensuring teams prioritize real threats and reduce noise. Please read this article for more information.
How much does Safety cost?
We have plans that cater to teams of all sizes, from solo developers to large enterprises.
Our free plan is ideal for solo developers working on non-commercial projects, while our Team and Enterprise plans are built for teams developing commercial applications and who require the most comprehensive supply chain security available.
How does the Free plan differ from paid plans?
Our free-for-life plan is intended for solo developers working on non-commercial projects. This plan is limited to a single developer seat and uses open-source vulnerability data when performing scans. Our paid plans are intended for teams working on projects and leverage Safety’s full proprietary vulnerability database when performing scans. Our vulnerability data contains data roughly 4x more vulnerabilities and malicious packages than other providers, meaning our paid plans offer unparalleled levels of security.
