How AI Helps Drive Cloud More Safely
In today's cloud computing landscape, the role of humans in managing cloud instances is evolving. Embracing automation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is key to achieving greater efficiency and security. In this recent Forbes article, Aqua's CPO explores the game-changing potential of AI-guided remediation.
"With AI-guided remediation in play developers and security teams no longer need to spend countless hours manually reading advisories, searching for patches or building verification steps before acting. Instead, AI guides them with clear and concise instructions on how to complete the fix.”
Learn how AI is empowering security teams to tackle issues swiftly, ensuring safer cloud operations. Read the full article.
Deceptive Deprecation: The Truth About npm Deprecated Packages
Aqua Nautilus researchers recently uncovered a significant concern within the npm ecosystem. While officially, 8.2% of popular npm packages are deprecated, our experts have identified a more alarming statistic - due to inconsistent practices in handling package dependencies, the real number is much larger, closer to 21.2%.
This widespread issue of unmaintained and deprecated npm packages reveals hidden threats to the software supply chain. It highlights how poor operational and structural integrity in dependencies can be as risky as code vulnerabilities, all while staying hidden from developers. Discover the truth about the deceptive deprecation gap in this recent blog.

The Gaps in Open Source Governance That Threaten the Software Supply Chain
The widespread issue of unmaintained and deprecated npm packages recently discovered by Aqua researchers affects more than a fifth of open source packages. To ensure application integrity, organizations must take a proactive approach, understanding the origin of every piece of code and implementing practices to prevent poorly maintained and risky code from entering their applications.
Read our latest blog , as we dive into how Aqua's Software Supply Chain Security (SSCS) module empowers developers to choose packages based on their security health. This enables security operations leaders to maintain healthy applications by prioritizing component updates when they become deprecated.
