Software Composition Analysis

In today’s development landscape, open-source components power most modern applications. But with this convenience comes the challenge of managing software vulnerabilities, license risks, and outdated dependencies. Software Composition Analysis (SCA) is an automated solution that provides full visibility into your application’s open-source usage. It scans your source code, binaries, and third-party libraries to detect security flaws, identify license compliance issues, and mitigate operational risks—before they become real threats. With the growing reliance on open-source software, automating open-source risk management is no longer optional. SCA empowers your security and development teams to build secure, compliant, and high-performing applications without slowing down innovation.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Software Composition Analysis (SCA)?
SCA is a security process that identifies open-source components in software and checks them for known vulnerabilities, license risks, and outdated versions.
2. Why is SCA important for development teams?
It helps developers manage the security and legal risks associated with using open-source libraries, ensuring safer and more compliant software.
3. How does SCA work?
SCA tools scan codebases, detect third-party dependencies, and match them against vulnerability databases (like CVE) to flag potential security or compliance issues.
4. When should Software Composition Analysis be performed?
SCA should be integrated early in the development lifecycle and continuously during builds to detect and remediate risks before software is released.
