    How do I secure Python once it is in my app?

    Since we can't know when or where malicious attacks will happen, we recommend tracking how Python behaviors change over multiple software releases. By adopting differential analysis in your release process, you can detect unexpected changes to a Python version, which can prevent advanced software supply chain attacks. Read how our technology can help prevent future attacks similar to SolarWinds and 3CX.
