Socket vs SemgrepSocket is the Market Leader in Zero-Day Supply Chain Attack Protection

While Semgrep serves as a traditional SCA tool that detects only known vulnerabilities, Socket takes supply chain security to the next level by identifying zero-day supply chain attacks and emerging threats.

Socket proactively uncovers malicious dependencies, typosquats, and sophisticated supply chain risks that conventional tools like Semgrep miss. This advanced capability ensures businesses are protected against the latest and most elusive threats, making Socket the superior choice for comprehensive and proactive dependency security.
