Kusari is building a supply chain security platform on top of open source

This article profiles Kusari, a software supply chain security startup that raised $8M to build an open source–plus–SaaS platform powered by the GUAC project to map dependencies, assess policy compliance, determine ownership, analyze blast radius, and guide remediation. The founders from finance and defense aim to improve visibility and risk management across software supply chains, with planned features including a chatbot interface. Competing with firms like Legit Security, Ox Security, and Snyk, Kusari targets general availability later this year while growing its small team.
