Software Composition Analysis (SCA) for Open Source Security (2025)
Software Composition Analysis (SCA) for Open Source Security (2025) Software Composition Analysis (SCA) is becoming an increasingly vital tool for organizations seeking to manage the security risks associated with open-source software (OSS). By 2025, SCA will likely be a standard practice for any organization that uses OSS in its software development lifecycle. What is Software Composition Analysis? SCA is the process of identifying and analyzing the open-source components in a software application. This includes: Inventorying OSS Components: Identifying all open-source libraries, frameworks, and other components used in the application. Vulnerability Detection: Identifying known vulnerabilities in those components by cross-referencing them
