NextGuard is a software security service focused on identifying and monitoring vulnerabilities in software dependencies. It tracks more than 400,000 CVEs across over 50 platforms and ecosystems, helping individuals and teams find risks using exploit data and severity information. Users can scan dependency files or paste component lists for an instant report, with support for formats including composer.lock, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.lock, go.sum, and Podfile.lock. The service also offers live CMS scanning for platforms such as WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Magento, and PrestaShop through a plugin and API key.

NextGuard provides continuous and daily monitoring, vulnerability alerts, project dashboards, CVE search, and a live feed of newly reported issues. Its plans range from free scans and basic monitoring to paid options with additional projects, visible vulnerabilities, longer history, Slack or webhook alerts, and data exports. Educational resources include vulnerability advisories, an academy with lessons on topics such as cross-site scripting and SQL injection, and AI-narrated walkthroughs of real CVEs. NextGuard also offers an Android app with real-time alerts and security lessons.
