OSSPREY – Secure Your Software Supply Chain
About Us
As modern coding practices and development cycles accelerate, organizations need a security ally who can keep pace and empower engineers rather than hinder them. This increased velocity, while crucial for innovation, has created new opportunities for attackers to introduce malware, vulnerabilities, and other malicious behaviors into software supply chains unnoticed. Security blind spots and a lack of transparency in rapidly evolving environments demand a proactive, not reactive, approach.
Our mission is simple: provide security teams with the transparency and actionable intelligence they need to prevent threats from entering their software supply chains. Security shouldn't slow down innovation; it should enable it. That's the guiding principle behind everything we build.
Our platform brings together transparent SBOM insights, deep threat detection, and AI-powered code analysis, designed for governance, engineers and security teams who need clarity, speed, and trust in their supply chain.
