One Compromised Package
Can Undo Everything Your Team Built.

Your developers install dozens of packages a week. Each one is a potential entry point. Hextrap gives you team-wide visibility and policy enforcement over every install — across developers, CI pipelines, and AI coding tools — without slowing anyone down.

34,319 malicious packages detected in Q3 2025 alone
55% of supply chain attacks target credential and IP exfiltration
6 mo median dwell time before supply chain compromises are detected

The risk you're responsible for but can't currently see.

You have visibility into your codebase, your infrastructure, and your deployments. But what your team installs — and whether it's safe — is largely invisible without a dedicated tool.

Supply chain attacks don't announce themselves. A typosquat that harvests developer credentials, a malicious install hook that establishes persistence, a dependency confusion attack that pulls a malicious version of your internal package — these all look like routine development activity until they don't.

The question isn't whether your team will encounter malicious packages. In 2025, every active development team did. The question is whether you'll catch them before or after they execute.

What a supply chain compromise looks like

Day 0
Attacker publishes malicious package

A typosquat of a common library, or a new version of a previously safe package, is published to PyPI or npm.

Day 1–3
Developer installs it

Autocomplete, copy-paste from a blog post, or an AI suggestion — the install looks completely normal.

Day 1–180
Silent exfiltration

Credentials, tokens, source code, or environment variables are silently forwarded to an attacker-controlled server. Your team doesn't notice.

Discovery
Incident response — and the hard questions

What was exposed? For how long? Which systems? Who installed it? Without an audit trail, these questions take weeks to answer.

With Hextrap
Blocked at Day 0

Soak time quarantine holds the package. Typosquat detection flags the name. The install never happens.

Team-wide governance without team-wide friction.

One set of policies, enforced consistently across every developer, every CI pipeline, and every AI coding assistant.

Consistent policies across every actor

The same allow/deny rules apply whether the install comes from a developer's laptop, a GitHub Actions runner, or an AI coding assistant. No policy gaps.

Audit trail ready for any question

Every install attempt — approved or blocked — is logged with who requested it, what they requested, and what policy decision was made. Incident response starts with answers, not questions.

Soak time: the proactive zero-day control

New package versions are quarantined for a configurable window. Your team doesn't install anything published in the last N days. Zero-day campaigns rely on fast adoption — soak time eliminates that window.

AI agent visibility

Your AI coding tools install packages autonomously. Hextrap's MCP integration governs those installs and logs them separately so you can see exactly what your AI agents have done.

Team and role management

Different teams, different policies. Developers can have wider allow lists than CI/CD. Security teams get read access to all activity logs. Permissions match how your org actually works.

No deployment project

One config line per developer, one credential per CI runner. Your team is covered in hours, not quarters. No infrastructure to stand up. No migration to plan. No pipeline to rewrite.

The cost of not having it.

A single credential leak from a malicious package
Secret rotation across all systems, incident investigation, customer notification if data was exposed, engineering time diverted for weeks.
An AI agent installs a typosquat
Without agent-level audit trails, you don't know what was installed autonomously, when, or what it accessed. The investigation starts from scratch.
A supply chain question in due diligence
"Show us your package install audit logs for the last 12 months." Without Hextrap, that request either takes weeks to answer or can't be answered at all.

Hextrap Small Team plan: $49/month. No procurement cycle. No migration. Active in an afternoon.
