Announcing New Default Security Policies
Blog post from Socket
Socket has introduced three new customizable default security policies—Low Noise, Default, and Higher Noise—designed to offer organizations increased flexibility in managing dependency security through a range of alert actions: Block, Warn, Monitor, and Ignore. These policies aim to reduce alert noise, manage false positives more effectively, and enable new alert types previously disabled, with a focus on CVE monitoring and comprehensive supply chain risk management. The policies are set to become available on August 28, 2024, allowing organizations a two-week transition period from August 14 to review changes and maintain their existing settings if desired. The Low Noise policy focuses on CVEs and malicious dependencies, the Default policy balances security with minimal disruption, and the Higher Noise policy is for more engaged teams with extensive monitoring and alerts. Socket's new alert system allows alerts to either inherit the default policy actions or be set explicitly, providing precise control over notifications.
