You just haven't detected them yet. * **Ransomware** Criminals lock you out of production systems, development environments, and backups simultaneously. * **Supply chain infiltration** Hackers poison a single library, which then infects everything connected to it throughout your infrastructure. * **Backup destruction** Attackers target and corrupt disaster recovery first, so there is no clean way back left for you. ### Non-compliance Regulations expand and change constantly. So, meeting today's requirements doesn't guarantee tomorrow's compliance. * **Market disqualification** Without the right certifications, you're cut from enterprise deals before negotiations even start. * **Regulatory fines** Penalties can reach €10M or 2% of your global revenue under current EU regulations. * **Executive liability** Non-compliance can trigger personal fines, management bans, and even criminal prosecution for board members. ### Broken If you're not actively testing your software, it likely carries invisible defects that are quietly waiting to crash your systems. * **Unvetted AI code** AI-generated code contains logic errors, hallucinations, and vulnerabilities no one verified before production. * **Corrupted updates** Software updates can inject bugs that corrupt your production data and break core functionality. * **Technical debt** Legacy code piles up faster than you can fix it, making systems impossible to maintain. What’s at stake 2 in 10 vendors fail within 3 years. With most companies relying on 200+, that’s 40+ systems gone for good. ~2,000 attacks hit organizations every week. Only one needs to get through to take out your systems and block recovery paths. $6M is the average cost of missing compliance certifications: $4.2M in deals that never close, and $1.8M in delayed revenue. 66% of companies hit a major outage within 12 months of shipping untested code. They're rarely able to fix what they don't understand. ## Everyone’s at risk — there are no exceptions Risk compounds with every vendor you depend on. The more you rely on software you don’t control, the higher your chance of failing becomes. 1 vendor 42% chance of at least one failure 5 vendors 90% failure chance as dependencies stack 10 vendors 99% chance failure becomes a certainty CASE STUDY When Jaguar Land Rover’s IT infrastructure was compromised in 2025, global production stayed offline for _five weeks_ — costing the UK economy an estimated _£1.9 billion_. 5 000+ suppliers affected as the supply chain collapsed around a single IT shutdown. Are you sure you want to leave your software unprotected? If you can’t restore your systems within hours of a disaster, your business won’t survive the downtime.

Why trust Codekeeper? Our team of experts has spent the last decade researching and developing new ways to mitigate cyber risks.

What industries benefit most from Codekeeper's solutions? Codekeeper's suite of software resilience solutions benefits any business reliant on digital assets, including those in finance, healthcare, manufacturing, e-commerce, logistics, and the public sector. What is software escrow? Software escrow is a legal arrangement that protects licensed software users by ensuring continuous access to the software's source code and other critical materials. In a software escrow agreement, the software developer or vendor deposits a copy of the source code, documentation, and other essential components with a trusted third-party escrow agent, such as Codekeeper. This agent securely stores and manages these materials on behalf of the software provider and the beneficiary. Why do companies use escrow? Companies use software escrow to mitigate risks and ensure business continuity. An escrow agreement guarantees the licensee can maintain, update, and use the critical software without disruption, even if the original vendor is no longer available to provide support. How does software resilience escrow protect your business? Software resilience solutions protect your business by minimizing downtime, saving critical data, and guaranteeing quick restoration of essential systems when unexpected disruptions occur. A comprehensive plan can prevent revenue loss, mitigate legal and regulatory repercussions, and maintain your business's trust and operational excellence.
