🎉 Some big news from Sonatype this week. Yesterday we announced the launch of [DepShield](https://depshield.github.io/#/), a free GitHub app that automatically identifies vulnerabilities within open source dependencies.

DepShield supports Maven projects now with more ecosystems on the [roadmap](https://depshield.github.io/#/roadmap).

You can check out the [Getting Started](https://depshield.github.io/#/welcome) page or the [blog post](https://blog.sonatype.com/introducing-sonatype-depshield-free-for-github-developers) for more info.

Try it out and let us know what you think! We have a [DepShield section of the community](http://community.sonatype.com/c/depshield) where you can send us your feedback.
