According to a recent LinkedIn post from Semgrep, the company is emphasizing risks created by missing or incomplete lockfiles in application security workflows. The post highlights what it describes as a “lockfile gap,” in which unresolved dependency trees, including transitive dependencies and private registries, can leave blind spots in software supply chains.

The post suggests that Semgrep is responding to this issue by expanding its Semgrep Supply Chain capabilities with a feature called Dynamic Dependency Resolution. As described, this feature attempts to resolve dependencies at scan time by invoking relevant package manager commands when lockfiles are missing or incomplete.
For investors, this focus on dynamic dependency resolution indicates continued product development aimed at deeper visibility into software supply chain risk. Such enhancements could strengthen Semgrep’s competitive position in application security and supply chain security, areas that remain priority spending categories for enterprises.
If effectively adopted by customers, the capability may help increase the platform’s stickiness and justify higher value-based pricing over time. It also positions Semgrep to compete more directly with vendors addressing software composition analysis and supply chain security, potentially expanding its total addressable market within the broader DevSecOps ecosystem.
