World's first install-time supply-chain firewall

Stop the next supply-chain zero-day.
Before a CVE exists.

The world's first install-time supply-chain firewall, built on peer-reviewed research at Cork (CIT → MTU). One decision brain intercepts every install across npm, PyPI, Maven, Go and NuGet, on laptops, CI/CD and Kubernetes, answering in milliseconds: is this safe to ship?

Academic origins · 2024–2026

Built on a master’s thesis.
Not a weekend hackathon.

The four-signal detection brain and the XYZ risk score weren’t dreamed up in a sprint planning. The methodology was developed and formally defended as a master’s thesis at the Cork Institute of Technology (now Munster Technological University), then refined into the production engine you see today. Our competitors started from a product spec. We started from a literature review.

  1. 01 Defended at academic committee Formal methodology review at Cork Institute of Technology (now Munster Technological University), 2024–2026. Not retrofitted to a marketing site.
  2. 02 Tuned on real corpora 1.3M vulnerabilities, 14,000 OSV-MAL records and 72,000 npm packages with behavioral baselines, all routed through one scoring engine.
  3. 03 Validated against history Replays event-stream, ua-parser-js, colors, faker and node-ipc as control cases before any production install touches a developer machine.

Caught in the wild

We don't theorize about supply-chain attacks.
We catch them.

Real campaigns, blocked at install before any CVE existed. Here is the proxy log, the moment each one hit the wire, and the full dissection of each.

How we catch them

We read the code,
not just the scorecard.

Most supply-chain tools rate a package on project-health signals. CyberXYZ does that and reads the actual change, line by line, commit by commit, so a malicious hook is caught the moment it lands. This is where we catch the zero-day: at the commit and the pull request, before it ever reaches an install, no CVE required.

How it works

One brain.
Every surface.

Wherever a package is requested, a developer's laptop, a CI runner, a Kubernetes node, CyberXYZ is already there with the same verdict. Here's how it shows up across your stack.

The scoring crisis

CVSS and EPSS were built
for the vulnerability era.

They score a CVE the moment one is filed. They don't see the package the day it gets compromised. They don't see typosquats, install-script malware, or maintainer takeovers. Most of the npm and PyPI supply-chain attacks of the last four years never received a CVE on the day they shipped, and the ones that did got it days or weeks late.

CVSS

Severity in a vacuum.

CVSS scores the technical impact of a single CVE in isolation. A CVSS 9.8 in a library you don't ship is noise. A CVSS 6.1 in axios, used by half of npm, is an emergency. The score can't tell the difference.

  • No notion of dependency graph or blast radius
  • No notion of exploitation activity in the wild
  • No notion of maintainer account compromise
  • Zero coverage of malicious packages without a CVE
// sidenote EPSS

Predicts the wrong universe.

EPSS estimates the probability a published CVE will be exploited in the next 30 days. It's a useful signal for triaging known vulns, but it has no opinion on the entire malware-on-the-registry problem, because that universe has no CVEs to begin with.

  • Only models published CVEs (≈ 280K records in NVD)
  • Blind to OSV MAL malware advisories (14K+ packages)
  • Blind to typosquats, dep-injection, version-jump anomalies
  • Often lags real-world exploitation by days
The gap

The day-zero blind spot.

Of the most damaging npm supply-chain compromises of the last four years (axios, event-stream, ua-parser-js, coa, rc, colors, faker, node-ipc, eslint-scope), none had a meaningful CVSS or EPSS score on day zero. CyberXYZ catches them on signal, not on paperwork.

The decision brain

Six signals. One verdict.
~80 milliseconds.

Every install request runs all six detection signals in parallel against two databases (1.3M vulnerabilities, 72K npm packages with behavioral baselines). We aggregate the strongest signal into one of four decisions. See the full methodology →

Where we fit

We don't replace your scanners.
We add the layer they can't.

SCA tools find known vulnerabilities after they're already in your tree. CyberXYZ blocks malicious installs before they land. Different jobs on the same supply chain, run them together.

I really liked the product, and that you’re ahead of the market: commit and PR-level review that catches zero-days before a CVE. We invited the team to present to our incident response and offensive security groups.
