Introducing NPM Shield – Secure Dependencies
Two months ago, we launched Better NPM. Since then, we’ve received numerous feature requests, UI improvement suggestions, and valuable feedback—including constructive criticism. We listened carefully, tested the waters, and understood developers’ needs regarding dependency management, security, detailed package insights, and robust analytics.
Today, we’re excited to announce the next evolution—now rebranded as NPM Shield!
Why NPM Shield? Because it reflects our commitment to protecting your projects through transparency, robust analytics, and comprehensive security.
Here’s what’s new and improved:
Advanced Security Scans – Instantly identify vulnerabilities and risks across your entire dependency tree (CVE and CVSS).
Detailed Package Insights – Gain deeper visibility into maintenance, adoption, and community health of your dependencies.
Dependency Tree Graphs – Visualize your project’s dependencies clearly and intuitively.
Risk Mitigation Tools – Proactively address and fix dependency risks before they affect your project.

A huge thank you to the community for your invaluable feedback. Your insights have shaped NPM Shield, helping us build a smarter, safer, and more transparent package ecosystem.
We’re eager to hear your thoughts on NPM Shield—your feedback drives continuous improvement!
Let’s build secure, reliable software together.
