Trust open source maintainers, but verify their packages

We trust open source maintainers because their work is valuable. That's exactly why a compromised account is so dangerous.

Trust alone isn't a control. When a maintainer account is compromised through social engineering or credential theft, its output carries the same trust as before. An artifact manager puts a trust boundary between you and open source, assessing every package for critical vulnerabilities, malware, and license obligations before it enters.

Cloudsmith is the cloud-native artifact management platform with built-in software supply chain security.
