Summary
Python's dominance in AI and machine learning has made it a hot target for supply chain attacks, with registries lacking sufficient vetting of hosted artifacts. To mitigate this risk, Chainguard is launching **Chainguard Libraries for Python**, which builds every library and its dependencies from source on a secure infrastructure to ensure malware-free distributions. This solution empowers application security teams by providing visibility into software components without disrupting developers' workflow or introducing hidden vulnerabilities.
