Common Use Cases

Our clients use our technology and services to solve a range of challenges. Here are a few of the most common use cases involving Software Composition Analysis (SCA) and open source software audit services.

Leverage Generative-AI Code

Generative AI coding assistants are a game-changer. FossID enables your developers to take advantage without increasing your security and license compliance risks.

FossID Workbench includes a language-agnostic scanner that assures you that all open source software, down to the copy-pasted or AI-generated snippet is identified.

Ingest and Generate Complete SBOMs

Ingest supplier SBOMs, consolidate and export NTIA-compliant SBOMs so you can easily meet regulatory security requirements.

Automatically export and import Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) or Cyclone DX reports containing license text, copyright statements, vulnerabilities and even snippet level information.

Streamline Technical Due Diligence

An open source software audit is a critical step in the M&A process to ensure license and copyright compliance, minimize security risks, clarify asset value and support strategic decision-making.

FossID protects intellectual property (IP) and streamlines the process by using “blind scan” technology that does not require the target’s source code.
