Frequently Asked Questions
What is software composition analysis (SCA)?
By understanding these aspects of code, developers can build more secure and reliable software.
What Are the Risks of Using Open Source Components?
- Open source projects often suffer from inconsistent maintenance, resulting in delayed security patches and updates
- Vulnerabilities are publicly disclosed and therefore easy to exploit
- Hackers can use one vulnerability to exploit a number of companies — as many as are using that particular library or component
- Vulnerable open source components can be used to execute software supply chain attacks
How does software composition analysis work?
Software composition analysis tools scan software projects to inventory all components using two methods: manifest scanning, and binary scanning.
Step 2: License Compliance
SCA tools assess open source licenses of identified components to ensure compliance and avoid legal issues.
Step 3: Vulnerability Detection
SCA tools cross-reference components against vulnerability databases to identify known vulnerabilities and assess their severity through tools like risk scoring.
Step 4: Prioritization and Remediation
SCA tools prioritize vulnerabilities based on reachability and exploitability, offering remediation advice and integrating with issue tracking systems to streamline the process.
What are the benefits of using SCA software?
Other benefits of SCA software include:
Enhanced Security Posture: SCA enables organizations to proactively identify and address vulnerabilities in their software supply chains, preventing costly security breaches and safeguarding sensitive data.
Regulatory Compliance: SCA ensures compliance with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS by tracking third-party components, verifying licensing, and demonstrating due diligence in data protection, facilitated by accurate SBOMs.
Assured Quality and Reliability: SCA upholds trust by ensuring software quality and reliability, thereby protecting sensitive customer data and delivering seamless user experiences.
Streamlined Development Processes: SCA automates dependency management, integrates with developer workflows, and enhances productivity, accelerating time-to-market while balancing speed, innovation, and security.
Empowerment Through Insights: SCA provides insights for informed decision-making on dependencies, version management, and vulnerability remediation, empowering developers to mitigate technical debt and foster continuous improvement.
