How Dependency Firewall blocks malware

Built on Counterswarm’s agentic defense system.

Counterswarm investigates package risk using dependency evidence and security analysis.

Registry deployment

An intended deployment pattern places Dependency Firewall upstream of a private registry or artifact repository. Inspection coverage depends on supported integrations and configured package paths.

Endpoint deployment

An intended deployment pattern reviews package requests from supported endpoints. Coverage depends on routing those requests through the configured integration.

A single malicious package install can steal credentials, plant backdoors, or expose source code before deployment.

Package review across supported installation paths

Dependency Firewall is intended to review package requests from developer and AI-agent environments when they use a supported, configured installation path.

Designed to fit your policies and workflows

Configurable guardrails

Define what your company will accept, from package attributes to license terms. Require a minimum package age, gate specific dependency trees, and enforce license policies across direct and transitive dependencies.

Response workflows

Share findings with your team through configured notifications and finding exports.

Full control for security teams

Define a review and exception process for package decisions.

Security without latency

Consider package review as part of your dependency installation workflow.
