Introducing Scala and Kotlin Support in Socket

Socket has introduced support for Scala and Kotlin, expanding its supply chain security and AI-powered threat detection to more JVM-based ecosystems, building on its existing Java support. This update allows developers using modern JVM languages to leverage proactive protection and deep package inspection, which goes beyond traditional CVE-based scanning by analyzing actual code behavior to block malicious code before it integrates into the codebase. As supply chain attacks targeting dependencies in these languages increase, Socket's approach aims to prevent zero-day threats, typosquatting, and other malicious activities by detecting risky behaviors in real time. The release includes features like comprehensive license detection, reachability analysis, and proactive zero-day attack detection, providing enterprise-ready security for JVM ecosystems. Developers can integrate Socket into their Scala or Kotlin projects using the Socket CLI for manifest generation and scanning, with the option to use existing lockfiles for analysis, ensuring a seamless setup for supply chain threat detection.
