Features & Benefits
Confidently Manage Your Open Source Software Risk
FossID gives you the tools to detect, identify, and govern third-party software across your codebase. Whether you’re building safety-critical systems or accelerating product releases, FossID helps you ship secure and compliant software faster.
When adopting AI coding assistants, you need absolute confidence that AI-generated code is free of copyright and license risk. FossID’s precise code snippet detection and massive open-source license knowledgebase let you unlock the productivity benefits of AI without introducing risk.
Find All Third-Party Software in Your Projects
It Starts with Wide Detection Coverage
Your ability to manage open source starts with complete visibility. FossID combines multiple layers of detection to uncover every piece of third-party software in your code, regardless of how it was introduced.
- Dependency Analysis
Identify all direct and transitive dependencies in package manifests. - Source Code Scanning
Scan unmanaged code regardless of programming language. - Code Snippet Detection
Identify fragments of open-source libraries embedded in your source code.
Identify Code Origins Quickly and Accurately
Automated Identification with Deep Context
Knowing what’s in your code is only half the story. FossID automates much of the identification of origin, license, and risk context, so you can focus on remediation instead of manual guesswork.
- ID Assist
A powerful suggestion engine using special scoring, grouping and filtering intelligence that accelerates and streamlines the review process by proposing accurate identifications. - License Extractor
Automatically detects and extracts license texts from the file-level, even in modified or mixed-license code to aggregate a reliable license notice file. - Vulnerable Snippet Finder
Leverage our granular code snippet detection to pinpoint exact vulnerable blocks of code associated with CVEs for precise security insights. - VEX (Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange)
Incorporate exploitability context to prioritize and triage vulnerabilities more intelligently and add more context to your SBOMs.
Instill Software Supply Chain Confidence
Governance Tools for Codebase Transparency and Integrity
