HeroDevs has acquired Xeol, a New York startup focusing on end-of-life software detection. This acquisition expands HeroDevs' capabilities in handling deprecated open-source packages. By integrating Xeol's database, which catalogs over 100,000 end-of-life software packages, HeroDevs aims to provide developers with tools for managing cybersecurity risks. Their initiative emphasizes compliance with industry standards such as HIPAA and PCI DSS, highlighting the importance of maintaining security even for outdated software. This essential service will be made available free to the public, making it more accessible for all developers.
When it comes to securing your applications, the first step is knowing you have a problem and for many, that is the biggest challenge, said Aaron Frost, HeroDevs founder and CEO.
The Xeol team has built an extremely large, exhaustive database of open-source software that has reached its end-of-life and could therefore put organizations at risk.
