This invention describes a system that watches over the process of building software. It gathers information from various stages of the software development, then uses that information to spot unusual problems or issues with the software. Once a problem is found, the system automatically takes steps to fix it. The patent specifically narrows this down to looking for issues within the software's building blocks, like finding security flaws in components the software relies on.
Why it matters: The heightened focus on software supply chain security and automated vulnerability management since 2022 makes the dependency-focused anomaly detection described here more critical. Advances in AI-driven observability tools could also enhance its implementation.
