DeepSeek, a rapidly growing Chinese AI company, is facing increasing scrutiny worldwide as governments and corporations move to restrict its use due to concerns about data privacy, security, and compliance risks. While DeepSeek has positioned itself as a major competitor in the AI landscape, its rapid adoption has faced significant regulatory challenges, leading to bans in multiple countries and restrictions across public and private sectors.

Compliance isn't about checking off legal boxes; it's about protecting your business from hidden risks lurking beneath the surface of your codebase. If you don’t know what’s in your software, you don’t know what you’ve agreed to.

Discover how open-source AI is transforming cost, compliance, and licensing. Learn how businesses can manage AI code compliance and navigate licensing obligations.

AI-powered tools like GitHub Copilot, Tabnine, and CodexNet are revolutionizing development, but they introduce risks related to open-source license compliance and intellectual property. Developers must understand copyright laws, as AI-generated and developer-written code can unintentionally infringe on existing copyrights. Threatrix helps manage these risks by automating compliance checks and attribution, ensuring real-time monitoring and protecting legal interests.

Open-source software (OSS) is crucial for modern development, offering flexibility, innovation, and cost savings. However, using OSS requires compliance with various licenses. As AI-generated code becomes more common, accurate attribution and compliance are critical. The new UK law mandating proper attribution for open-source code adds complexity to compliance, and Threatrix automates these obligations efficiently.

The recent exploit with the malicious polyfill library highlights a critical gap in the capabilities of most Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools. Widely used to ensure compatibility across different browsers, Polyfills can pose significant security risks when hosted on Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). Threatrix has long supported the security of CDN-referenced open source, detecting a wide range of open-source components and assets often missed by other SCA tools, thereby closing significant security gaps.
