# Registry Proxy

The registry proxy keeps your supply chain safe by blocking malware, enforcing minimal package age, and offering patched versions of vulnerable packages.

Instead of pulling packages directly from the public registry, your private registry routes requests through Aikido's proxy.

```

Aikido inspects each package before it reaches your environment: blocking known malicious packages, rejecting packages that are too new to be trusted, and serving auto-patched versions where available.

Currently npm and PyPI are supported. Support for additional package managers is coming soon.
