GitHub Dependabot now delays package updates by three days to improve supply chain security screening. The change introduces a buffer period for vulnerability analysis before automated dependency patches reach production.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Developer Tools and Cybersecurity. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you build dependency scanning or vulnerability triage tools, GitHub just moved the goalpost for your customers—three days of manual review is now built into their workflow. You need to slot in before that delay, not after it.
