What are Software Composition Analysis (SCA) Tools?

Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools help organizations identify and manage open source and third-party components within their software applications. They scan codebases to detect licenses, vulnerabilities, outdated libraries, and compliance risks associated with external dependencies. SCA tools provide detailed reports and alerts to support secure software development and supply chain risk management. Integration with development environments and CI/CD pipelines enables automated checks throughout the software lifecycle. By enhancing transparency and governance over software components, SCA tools reduce security threats and legal liabilities.

    Contrast Security

    Contrast Security

    Contrast Security

    Modern software development must match the speed of the business. But the modern AppSec tool soup lacks integration and creates complexity that slows software development life cycles. Contrast simplifies the complexity that impedes today’s development teams. Legacy AppSec employs a one-size-fits-all vulnerability detection and remediation approach that is inefficient and costly. Contrast automatically applies the best analysis and remediation technique, dramatically improving efficiencies and efficacy. Separate AppSec tools create silos that obfuscate the gathering of actionable intelligence across the application attack surface. Contrast delivers centralized observability that is critical to managing risks and capitalizing on operational efficiencies, both for security and development teams. Contrast Scan is pipeline native and delivers the speed, accuracy, and integration demanded by modern software development.
