What is Device Protection

Device Protection gives you visibility and control over the software packages installed on your team's devices. It covers browser extensions, code libraries, IDE plugins, and build dependencies, all in one place.

Use-cases

• Stop malware before it gets installed: Aikido automatically identifies known malicious packages and blocks them.

• Get full visibility into your software supply chain: See every browser extension, code library, IDE plugin, and build dependency installed across your team's devices.

• Lock down specific ecosystems: Block all installs from sources like Chrome or NPM when your team doesn't need them.

• Require approval for new packages: Let team members request installs while keeping admins in control of what gets approved.
