CleanStart Launches Clean Libraries, Bringing Trusted Components to Developers and AI Coding Assistants

July 15, 2026

CleanStart has launched Clean Libraries, a new product designed to enhance software supply chain security for organizations, particularly in the context of artificial intelligence (AI). This tool enables developers and AI coding assistants to utilize verified open-source libraries, thereby reducing the risks associated with software supply chains.

Clean Libraries assists organizations in governing the selection of dependencies before these libraries are integrated into applications. This launch complements CleanStart's existing products, Clean Images and CleanSight, and furthers the company’s vision for Software Supply Chain Posture Management (SSCPM).

Nilesh Jain, CEO and co-founder of CleanStart, emphasized the need for a proactive approach to software supply chain security. "Software supply chain security has traditionally focused on identifying risk after software has already been built," Jain stated. "That approach is becoming increasingly difficult in the AI era, where software is created faster than ever before. Organizations need to start with verified software artifacts rather than spend months discovering and remediating unverified software components after they've entered the development lifecycle."

The introduction of Clean Libraries aligns with CleanStart's Integrate Left approach, which focuses on incorporating verified software artifacts at the earliest stages of development, rather than relying solely on scanning and remediation processes later in the development lifecycle.

By combining Clean Libraries with Clean Images and CleanSight, the company aims to help organizations secure the software components their applications rely on. This includes identifying software assets, replacing unsafe software artifacts with verified alternatives, and continuously monitoring software integrity throughout both development and production cycles.

CleanStart was co-founded by Nilesh Jain, Vijendra Katiyar, and Biswajit De, who collectively bring over two decades of global cybersecurity leadership experience. The company is focused on redefining secure software development by establishing verification as a core component of modern software supply chains.
