Static application security testing (SAST) is critical for uncovering and eliminating issues in proprietary code. However, over 60% of the code in an average application today is composed of open source components. SAST isn’t designed to find open source vulnerabilities (CVEs) or identify open source licenses. And manually maintaining a repository of approved open source components for developers is inefficient and time consuming. That’s where software composition analysis (SCA) comes in.
Join Utsav Sanghani, product manager, as he explores the benefits of bringing SAST and SCA together. He’ll explain why using an SCA tool to scan open source dependencies is as imperative to a software development strategy as using SAST to test proprietary code. He’ll also demonstrate how developers, by combining SAST and SCA analysis in the IDE, can address issues holistically as they code, saving time and increasing productivity so they can deliver secure, high-quality software faster.
