Supply Chain Defense Limits

A proposed security tool intercepts software package installs and checks them against a cloud database of known malicious or compromised packages, similar to traditional antivirus systems.

While this approach can block known threats, it remains dependent on signature-based detection. Newly introduced or previously unseen malicious packages may bypass protection. This reflects a broader limitation in security tooling: detection often lags behind novel attack methods. Even established techniques may reappear in modern contexts like software supply chains.

If protection is based on known threat patterns, how do you account for attacks that haven’t been seen before?
