GitHub, PyPI add time-based defenses against supply chain attacks
July 26, 2026
Back to all postsIn response to the increasing threats of supply chain attacks, GitHub and PyPI have implemented new security measures. GitHub's 'Dependent Bundle Scanning' feature scans packages for vulnerabilities, while PyPI has added a 'Requires-Python' field to ensure compatibility between Python packages and their users' systems. These changes are significant for Canadian businesses as they help protect against potential threats that can compromise sensitive data during software updates or installations. To safeguard their operations, SMB owners and IT managers should prioritize using secure coding practices, regularly updating software, and implementing multi-factor authentication wherever possible.
