SOFTWARE COMPOSITION ANALYSIS (SCA)
Know every open-source component in your code
We find vulnerable libraries, check licences and build your SBOM.
What is Software Composition Analysis (SCA)?
Software Composition Analysis (SCA) identifies the open-source and third-party components in your applications and checks them for known vulnerabilities, outdated versions and licence risks. It produces a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and tells developers which libraries to upgrade or replace.
Most of your code is not written by you.
Open-source libraries carry their own vulnerabilities. SCA shows which ones put you at risk.
