Supply chain hit: the first hours are about "am I affected?"

The first two to three hours after a supply chain compromise aren't about remediation – they're about figuring out whether you're affected at all. That requires two things: a feed of compromised packages you can cross-reference against what you're using, and an audit trail showing which developers pulled which packages and when. Teams that can answer "are we affected?" in 30 minutes have that data pre-built into their platform. Teams that don't are still piecing it together at hour three.
