> unless you work for a government contractor where they have strict security policies

... So you're saying there is a blueprint for mitigating this already, and it just isn't followed?

It's more work and more restrictive I suppose. Any business is free to set up jfrog Artifactory and only allow the installation of approved dependencies. And anyone can pull Ironbank images I believe.

Yes, but it requires people. Typically, you identify a package you want (or a new version of a package you want) and you send off a request to a separate security team. They analyze and approve, and the package becomes available in your internal package manager. But this means 1) you need that team of people to do that work, and 2) there's a lot of hurry-up-and-wait involved.

I've heard rumor of a few 100k people laid off in tech over the past few years that might be interested.

Whose gonna pay for it? The companies that laid off those people? They'll just continue on without worrying.
