FossID Workbench 25.2 is now available, and this release represents a significant leap forward in performance, deployment flexibility, and enterprise-scale resilience. As organizations accelerate software development and integrate increasingly complex supply chains, they need SCA that can keep pace without adding operational friction. Workbench 25.2 delivers exactly that.
This version introduces a modernized deployment architecture built for high-throughput scanning, multi-environment flexibility, and always-on availability. Whether you run cloud-native infrastructure, hybrid environments, or mission-critical on-premises systems, FossID now adapts more seamlessly to your operating model and scaling requirements.
Built for High-Performance, Large-Scale Environments
Workbench 25.2 adds a collection of architectural enhancements designed to help large enterprises scan faster, scale horizontally, and maintain continuous availability.
Configurable Scan Server Selection
Administrators can now preconfigure multiple scan servers and allow users to choose which server to run each scan on. This enables specialized workloads, hybrid deployments that mix cloud and local servers, and more predictable performance for high-volume scanning teams.
Containerized Deployment for Kubernetes
Workbench now ships with enhanced support for Kubernetes-based deployments. With new Helm charts, organizations can install, upgrade, and manage the platform with minimal operational overhead. This streamlines lifecycle management and improves long-term maintainability for platform engineering and DevOps teams.
Horizontal Scaling with Autoscaling
Workbench 25.2 introduces support for horizontal scaling inside Kubernetes clusters, including autoscaling based on real-time load. During peak usage, Workbench can automatically scale out to maintain throughput. When demand decreases, it scales back to optimize resources.
High Availability with Active/Active Instances
As part of the new horizontally scalable architecture, organizations can now run multiple Workbench instances in an active/active configuration. Built-in failover ensures uninterrupted availability, strengthening system resilience and reducing operational risk.
External Database Support
The latest update adds improved support for external cloud-hosted databases, enabling more deployment choices and helping organizations build highly available, cloud-first architectures without compromising performance.
Together, these enhancements provide true enterprise-grade scalability and operational agility. Workbench 25.2 adapts to fluctuating capacity needs and supports dependable, high-volume scanning across distributed teams.
Broader Dependency Coverage and SPDX Advancements
Beyond architecture improvements, Workbench 25.2 expands its core SCA capabilities:
Expanded Dependency Analysis
This release introduces support for additional package manifest types, improving visibility across more ecosystems and strengthening component discovery in modern polyglot environments.
Enhanced SPDX Support
Workbench 25.2 adds native import of JSON-based SPDX formats and improves import/export handling for selected fields and data elements. These updates deliver greater interoperability and simplify collaboration across vendors, customers, and compliance stakeholders.
Strengthening Enterprise Software Supply Chain Integrity
FossID Workbench 25.2 continues our commitment to helping organizations confidently manage software risk at scale. With improved performance, resilience, and coverage, this release empowers engineering, compliance, and security teams to maintain software integrity across fast-moving, distributed development environments.
