Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/08/2018 -- Software composition analysis (SCA) is a tool which provides valuable data to developers by classifying the software susceptibilities and revealing the certificates for open source components. SCA vendors are providing open source tools and the functionality on outdated tools for safety assessment. The important point is that if vendor or user build any software using open source components available in market, the SCA tool will help to evade any problems from safety susceptibilities hiding in those components. In their speed of creating applications as per client requirement, software developers are using open source mechanisms as their base for creating the applications by using only some amount of percentage and new code. However, one of the major liabilities of these open source components are that one out of every sixteen download requests for a component is reported with a known vulnerability. Nowadays, to decrease these hazards, security experts are adopting software composition analysis (SCA) tool with an expectation of minimizing the risk. Additionally, SCA tool provides benefits such as extra information helping to identify and remediate vulnerabilities quickly, automated scanning highlights license risk exposure, flexible policy enforcement increases alignment with business requirements, and product integration supports existing development processes.
