Software supply chain complexity is out of control with open source and other third-party code found in virtually every code base today. And with the adoption of generative AI coding tools and developers grabbing snippets of code from GitHub and Stack Overflow, there’s no telling what legal, security, and operational risks your business may be exposed to.
To manage these risks, you need full visibility into every software component integrated into your code base. But not just visibility, intelligence, like up-to-date licenses, vulnerability exposure data, and supplier information. And you need it now without disrupting your team’s productivity.
Software composition analysis tools automate code-based scanning and generate software bills of materials, SBOMs, to give you confidence in your software integrity without slowing down code delivery. However, many SCA tools fail to reliably identify elusive third-party code by missing undeclared dependencies, failing to recognize snippets of open source packages, or simply lacking the required intelligence in their knowledge base to match against.
FossID provides a software composition analysis toolset that binds all third party and open source software in your codebase, providing a complete view of license compliance risk and security vulnerabilities.
FossID’s 360 degree code base scanning reports both declared and undeclared dependencies, direct and transitive dependencies, and code snippet with precision control down to just six lines of code. And it’s backed by our constantly curated open source knowledge base of over two hundred million open source components.
FossID also integrates with your software development life cycle tool chain. Our flexible integrations automate the process so you can build workflows that satisfy the scan, gate, and notify use cases of your software compliance program.
Managing software licenses and vulnerability risks isn’t easy. It requires expert auditors, people who understand software licensing and security vulnerabilities, and who can help you make good risk management decisions.
FossID offers open source audits and code security reviews. In fact, our audit services team is our biggest toolset user and gives us a great feedback loop to better meet your needs.
