In today's software development environment, a large amount of work is crowd sourced to a big community of open-source developers and communities with very understanding of the cyber security issues that this creates, let alone ways to manage this risk. We all know that we can't stop using open-source, and we know that no one will stop using it.
What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You
What’s in the source code matters when merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions are in action. Undiscovered open-source in applications can produce costly license violations. These, along with security issues in proprietary, open source, and other third-party software, can have a significant negative impact on the value of your software assets.
Solutions
1.Open Source and Third-Party Code Audit
Open Source and Third-Party Code Audits draw on our platform to provide you with a complete open-source bill of materials (BoM) for the target codebase, reflecting all open-source components and associated license obligations and conflict and its analysis.
2.Open Source Risk Assessment
The OSRA builds on the Open Source and Third-Party Code Audit to provide a brief view of open-source risks in the codebase, including known security vulnerabilities and maintenance risks(security). It can serve as a high-level action plan to prioritize research and potential remediation actions and reactions.
3.Web Services and API Risk Audit
The WSRA gives you a view of the external web services used by an application, with insight into potential legal and data-privacy risks. The brief report allows you to quickly evaluate web services risks across three key categories: governance, data privacy, and quality.
4.Maintain compliance with open source licenses
Whether your software is provided via the web(cloud) or embedded in a hardware device, compliance with open source licenses is very important. Minimize the cost and risk to intellectual property with greater insight into license obligations and attribution requirements.
5.Integrate and automate open source governance into DevSecOps
Automated policy management allows you to clarify policies for open source use, cyber security risk, and license compliance up-front, and automate enforcement across the software development life cycle (SDLC) with the tools your developers already use. Learn more about our DevOps Integrations.

Identify
Identify components and its licenses, and flag components with licenses that are unknown so they can be reviewed.
Understand
Obligation summaries explain licenses and their requirements in simple and standard language so development and legal teams can quickly assess the impact of including a component in their application and prioritize it accordingly.
Comply
