Trusted Open Source Catalogs for AI and Developers
Leslie Pascual from ActiveState explains how traditional CVE-based scanning after deployment fails to contain risks from AI agents pulling open source components at machine speed.
Trusted catalogs vet components before they enter environments through cool-down periods, secure builds, attestations, and provenance checks across nine expanding ecosystems.
The catalogs integrate with Artifactory and other repositories while providing SBOMs and continuous monitoring. They are being designed so AI coding tools can use them as authoritative sources instead of pulling from unreliable internet results.
