What is the CNCF Kusari partnership?

CNCF gives free Kusari Inspector access to its hosted projects for supply chain security scanning.

Is Kusari Inspector free for all open source projects?

No, just CNCF-hosted ones right now—others pay or wait.

It spots dep risks early, but prevention needs full ecosystem adoption, not just one tool.

CNCF's teaming up with Kusari to hand out free security scanners to open source projects. Sounds noble—until you ask who's really winning.
