Varnish Artifact Firewall Pro is a vendor-neutral runtime security layer that protects your software supply chain by governing every artifact request, from CI/CD pipelines to Kubernetes clusters and AI/ML environments. Unlike scanners that inspect packages after they have already been pulled, it enforces policy at the moment of request across npm, PyPI, Maven, and NuGet, blocking vulnerable or non-compliant artifacts before they enter your environment.
Modern software delivery has fundamentally changed. Today's engineering organizations pull thousands of packages automatically, across dozens of CI/CD pipelines, running continuously across distributed Kubernetes clusters and GPU-driven AI environments. The velocity that makes this possible is also what makes it dangerous. Supply chain attacks have grown in both frequency and sophistication, not because attackers have become more sophisticated, but because they have learned to exploit the trust and automation that modern development depends on. A compromised package published to a public registry can propagate into hundreds of production environments within minutes, before any human has had a chance to review it. Varnish Artifact Firewall is built for this environment. It is a dedicated runtime security layer that sits in the artifact request path and evaluates every dependency before it enters your infrastructure whether that request originates from a developer workstation, a CI/CD pipeline, a Kubernetes cluster, or an AI training job. Unlike traditional repository-based scanners that evaluate artifacts after ingestion, Varnish Artifact Firewall enforces security policy at the moment of request, before known vulnerable or non-compliant artifacts are allowed to propagate. Newly published and unknown threats can be held in quarantine long enough for the community to flag malicious uploads. It can also be deployed alongside Varnish Virtual Registry, to combine policy enforcement with high-performance artifact caching and routing to dramatically reduce artifact latency and dependency resolution time.
Highlights
Secure the platform: Enforce runtime security across your entire software supply chain: block known vulnerable or compromised packages, quarantine newly published versions until they can be reviewed, and prevent dependency confusion attacks, governing every artifact request before it reaches your environment.
Vendor-neutral by design: Varnish Artifact Firewall sits in front of the registries and repository managers you already run, with no lock-in to a backend platform and no changes to developer workflow. Secure your entire software supply chain, regardless of your existing architecture and vendors.
Policy as code, zero-risk rollout: Manage dependency policy as declarative YAML rulesets, versioned and distributed through Git. Prebuilt OSV.dev rules give you a maintained baseline to extend with your own policies, and rulesets reload at runtime without service interruption. Start in report mode to see exactly what would have been blocked before enforcing anything, then deploy as a Docker image, Helm chart, or Linux package.
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before it ends, access to these entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
This listing uses a single contract dimension priced by the number of active developers. You buy coverage for up to 50 active developers under the Pro plan. Pricing scales by user count rather than by usage, builds, or data volume. Because there is one dimension, you pay a flat contract rate for that developer capacity, not a metered or per-request charge. The firewall itself sits in front of the registries you already run and enforces dependency policy, but your cost is tied only to the number of developers covered.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as one active developer for billing under the 50-user limit?
An active developer is a user whose requests pass through the firewall in the delivery path. The Pro plan covers up to 50 such users. Because enforcement sits in front of your registries, there is nothing to install per machine, but each covered developer counts toward the limit.
Does my cost change with build volume, package requests, or data transfer?
No. This contract is priced only by active developer count, up to 50 users. It does not meter package requests, build concurrency, or data volume. Automated machine-to-machine traffic, CI runners, and continuous pulls do not add per-request charges. Your cost stays tied to the number of developers covered.
What happens if my team grows beyond 50 active developers?
The Pro plan covers up to 50 active developers. This listing does not describe automatic overage charges beyond that count. If your team exceeds 50 developers, contact the vendor to discuss coverage that matches your developer count.
