The WhiteSource benefits
- Comprehensive coverage - Supports over 20 different languages, including containers.
- Pinpoint accuracy - Proprietary algorithms match security and quality issues to impacted libraries to guarantee no false positives
- Easy remediation – provides validated crowdsourcing fixes to enable quick resolution
- Largest vulnerabilities database - Continuously aggregates information from the NVD, security advisories, and open source projects issue trackers
- Effortless workflow - Enforce policies automatically at all stages of the SDLC to automate approval and tracking processes
Help your developers by using a WhiteSource agile solution that:
- Calculates the checksum for all your components without ever scanning your code (like open source scanning software such as Black Duck Protex, Palamida, OpenLogic, Protecode does)
- Compares the checksum with WhiteSource’s databases to identify all your open source components, including all dependencies
- Pulls relevant information like licenses, security vulnerabilities and updates from WhiteSource’s databases
- Matches the retrieved data with your company’s pre-defined policies
- Generates immediate up-to-date reports with all components and issues detected
The Weakest Link in Your Application Security
Application security was the leading cause of breaches in 2017, and open source vulnerabilities have become the main target for hackers as they have quickly gotten wise to the exponential potential of targeting open source components with known vulnerabilities.
Organizations tend to overlook open source security, due to the misconception that proprietary vulnerabilities and open source security vulnerabilities are detected and remediated in the same way. The truth is – open source security and proprietary code security are two very different animals – and need to be treated as such throughout the software development lifecycle.
SAST, DAST, and other application security testing tools aren’t able to detect vulnerabilities in open source components. Tracking vulnerabilities manually through the different open source databases is impossible as the databases are not indexed by component names and due to the overwhelming number of open source components and dependencies in software products these days.
WhiteSource is recognized by Microsoft, IBM Security, Forrester Research and more as the best and most comprehensive open source security and license compliance solution. Want to learn more on how we can help you secure and manage the open source components in your products? Schedule a demo.
