Every npm project is one malicious package away from a supply-chain breach. NPM Safety Guard catches threats that npm audit completely misses — from DPRK backdoors and typosquatted packages, to exposed API keys and AI credential theft hidden inside your node_modules.

This video walks through all 23 detection layers, one by one, showing exactly what each layer catches and how it protects your project in real time.

Nice breakdown. I never realized npm has this many built-in security layers. Do you usually recommend enabling all of them for every project?

@[Shepmaster] Honestly, it depends on the project's risk level! For a personal side project, npm audit + a lockfile is usually enough. But for anything going to production — especially with user data involved — I'd say yes, enable as many layers as make sense.
The tricky part is that most devs don't even know these layers exist until something goes wrong. That's the gap npm-safety-guard tries to fill — giving you visibility so you can make an informed call rather than flying blind.
