Software Composition Analysis (SCA ) scanners ↗

Gain comprehensive visibility into Software Composition: By combining native scans with ingested third-party data, SCA tools build a complete inventory of all open-source packages and their dependencies, providing critical insight into your software's entire composition. This unified view helps you understand and manage your overall software supply chain. Refer to Software packages as assets for more information

Improve application code security and prioritizing remediation: SCA scans identify critical vulnerabilities and prioritize remediation efforts based on a data-driven risk assessment that combines code-level vulnerabilities and potential business impact. Normalizing ingested third-party findings alongside native results ensures unified risk prioritization across all detection sources

Enable informed decisions about external code: By providing detailed insights into vulnerabilities, licenses, and operational risks, SCA empowers development and security teams to make informed decisions about the use, update, or replacement of external code components

Identify known vulnerabilities (CVEs): Automatically detect and flag known security vulnerabilities (tracked as Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures or CVEs) present in your open-source and third-party dependencies. This provides crucial insights into potential weaknesses that could be exploited

Assess license compliance: Manage open-source license obligations and identify potential compliance risks introduced by your application's components. This helps you adhere to regulatory requirements and minimize legal and compliance exposure

Detect Package Operational Risks: Evaluate the operational health and potential long-term risks of open-source packages, such as assessing their popularity, maintenance status (such as outdated or unmaintained components), and deprecation status. This allows you to proactively manage threats from abandoned or insecure components
