Beyond Security

Package Reputation Analysis

Package Reputation Analysis Give your developers all the context they need to avoid using low-reputation third-party packages.

View Case Studies
Identify low-reputation characteristics

Provide visibility into count of releases, last published date, downloads count, dependent packages, number of GitHub stars, and more for every package.

Notify developers directly

Notify developers about newly introduced third-party packages with low reputation characteristics.  

Monitor existing packages

Alert on existing packages that become low-reputation based on lack of updates.  

Use third-party validation

Provide developers with third-party reputation context such as OpenSSF Scorecard.

Developer-Native

Real-Time Developer Workflows

Identify and communicate with developers in real-time on detected low-reputation packages so they can adjust before their code is in production.

More about Developer-Native Workflows
Communicate early

Let developers know before their code containing low-reputation packages is merged to production.

Collaborate in chat

Integrate with Slack & Microsoft Teams to communicate with developers in tools they already use, without the need to opt-in.

Facilitated peer code reviews

Empower developers to kickoff peer review workflows directly from chat alerts on a low-reputation package.

Automated ticket management

Arnica’s Jira integration auto-opens tickets when low-reputation packages are introduced and auto-closes when they’re mitigated.

Package Quality

Avoid Low-Quality Packages

Go beyond Software Composition Analysis and leverage Arnica’s package reputation analysis to ensure that your developers are using reliable, high-quality third-party packages.

More on SCA
Maintain high-reputation packages

Keep the potential risks of low-reputation packages out of your code, even if they don’t contain known security issues.

Rich severity insights

Prevent low-reputation packages from entering your source code based on rich severity scoring across CVSS, EPSS, and KEV.

Reduce operational risk

Reduce the operational risks and tech debt that come with low-reputation package usage.

For risks outputs from Static Application Security Testing (SAST) or Software Composition Analysis (SCA), we’ve been able to reduce mean-time-to-awareness of the risk for the developer as well as mean-time-to-remediation.

Advanced Code Security with Package Reputation

Go Beyond SCA with Package Reputation

Go beyond Software Composition Analysis (SCA) risks and identify third-party packages with characteristics that indicate a possible operational or security risk. Leverage count of releases, last published date, recent downloads count, dependent packages, number of GitHub stars, and more to provide developers with a complete picture for every package.

Meet Developers Where They Work

Notify developers in tools they use, like Slack & Microsoft Teams, when they use a low-reputation package. Real-time detection gives full visibility into why a package is a low-reputation risk, privately, without requiring a new tool. Developers can then kick off approval workflows directly in chat for low-reputation packages they believe are critical to use.

Spot Low-Reputation Packages in Real-Time

Don’t interrupt your developers when they’re merging complete features. Let them know earlier in the development lifecycle when they are using third-party packages that contain low-reputation characteristics, such as low release count or low OpenSSF Scorecard.

Strengthen Your Software Supply Chain

Ensure high-quality dependencies by detecting and alerting on low-reputation third-party packages in real-time during code pushes, pull requests, or asynchronously. Keep your code secure and reliable with proactive, automated monitoring.

Go beyond code security with package reputation analysis.
