Learn how to make every AI investment count.
Successful AI transformation starts with deeply understanding your organization’s most critical use cases. We recommend this practical guide from You.com that walks through a proven framework to identify, prioritize, and document high-value AI opportunities.
In this AI Use Case Discovery Guide, you’ll learn how to:
Map internal workflows and customer journeys to pinpoint where AI can drive measurable ROI
Ask the right questions when it comes to AI use cases
Align cross-functional teams and stakeholders for a unified, scalable approach
Modern apps rely on thousands of open-source packages. A flaw in one unnoticed library can cascade to enterprise-wide compromise. Attackers target the weak links buried deep.
Package Repositories Are Actively Targeted
NPM, PyPI, and other registries see constant typo-squatting and malicious uploads. A single rogue update compromises all users. Few teams verify every dependency by source.
Vendor Systems Are the New Entry Point
Attackers breach managed service providers, then pivot to their clients. Shared credentials, agent tools, or APIs become backdoors. Your risk is inherited from your vendor’s hygiene.

CI/CD Pipelines Propagate Compromise Automatically
Build systems trust everything upstream. Malicious code or scripts inserted into one step poison the entire output. The more automated your release process, the faster the threat spreads.
Signed Software Doesn’t Guarantee Clean Code
Digital signatures verify origin — not intent. Attackers now compromise trusted dev accounts to sign malware legitimately. Signed does not mean safe.
SBOMs Are Promised But Rarely Maintained
Software Bills of Materials are supposed to list every component — but most are outdated or incomplete. Without visibility into what’s running, you can’t respond fast. Supply chain risk starts with inventory.
