Software Composition Analysis (SCA)

Finally, smart open source risk management

Empower developers to quickly secure open-source software (OSS) and gain full visibility into software supply chain risk.

Read solution brief

See your risks

Instantly gain continuous visibility into direct and transient dependencies, their CVEs and license demands.

Secure code fast

Secure open-source software without slowing down developers or demanding they become security experts.

Prioritize top risks

Achieve the greatest reduction in risk and eliminate the most impactful CVEs with the least amount of effort.

Automate remediation

Reduce security friction and frustration for developers while accelerating remediation time by up to 100X.

Gain efficiencies of open-source software without the risks


Secure open-source software

Reduce the time developers spend chasing security issues

  • Gain insight into when a vulnerable library is called, where it’s deployed and whether it’s exploitable
  • Streamline CVE fixes with Smart Fix guidance and auto-generated pull requests for updating packages
  • Focus developers on the vulnerabilities they’ve introduced with their changes, and not every chronic CVE

Software Bill of Materials

Effectively manage software supply chain risk

  • Gain continuous visibility into direct and transient third-party and open-source software dependencies
  • Immediately identify and avoid overly restrictive open-source licenses that create IP and financial risk
  • Comply with increasing SBOM guidelines and regulations like the US EO 14028, ENISA, UK NCSC, and ACSC

Code to Cloud

Gain continuous visibility of CVEs from code to runtime

  • Automatically find and fix CVEs within integrated development environments (IDEs) such as VS Code 
  • Instantly discover new code repositories, and auto-scan them for open-source code and their CVEs
  • Continually scan for CVEs in image registries, containers, Kubernetes clusters and running workloads

FAQ

Common questions

What is software composition analysis (SCA)?

Software composition analysis (SCA) is a pivotal tool in modern development, aiding teams in managing open source software (OSS) usage. Engaging in effective SCA ensures precise tracking and managing of OSS components, guaranteeing security, license compliance, and quality within the development cycle. By pinpointing vulnerabilities and mitigating risks, software composition analysis furnishes developers with a robust framework, protecting applications from potential security breaches and ensuring regulatory adherence.

What is a software bill of materials (SBOM)?

Unlock the potential of your software development with a software bill of materials (SBOM). Essential in modern cybersecurity, an SBOM provides a comprehensive inventory of all components in software, ensuring transparency, traceability, and security. Leveraging SBOMs aids in mitigating vulnerabilities, ensures compliance, and helps manage open source components effectively. Explore how a software bill of materials can elevate your security and developmental efficacy, safeguarding your applications against potential threats.

What are the risks of using open-source code packages?

Open-source code packages, while beneficial for development, bear inherent risks due to their public nature. Although they foster innovation and collaboration, open-source software can be susceptible to vulnerabilities, potentially exposing projects to security breaches. Ensuring vigilant management and security practices are crucial to mitigate risks and harness the power of open-source safely and effectively. Navigating through open-source challenges requires a strategic approach to safeguard your software.
