Today we're open-sourcing Bumblebee, a read-only scanner for macOS and Linux. It checks developer machines for risky packages, extensions, and AI tool configs. Connected to Computer, it can trigger deeper scans whenever a new supply-chain risk emerges. https://github.com/perplexityai/bumblebee

To get Perplexity Computer and similar tools deeply embedded in enterprises, a continuous investment in security engineering is necessary.

What's interesting in the way we're approaching it is putting these tools insde agentic sandboxes and having security workflows run autonomously.
