Find Vulnerabilities in All Your Third-Party Applications and Libraries

cs-assess-video-tb

Contrast SCA (Software Composition Analysis) dynamically protects applications by focusing on real threats from open-source security risks and vulnerabilities in third-party components during runtime. Operating in runtime effectively reduces the occurrence of false positives often found with static SCA tools and prioritizes the remediation of vulnerabilities that present actual risks.

Full Software Observability

Embed third-party software testing throughout the software lifecycle

  • As a shared service across the Contrast Application Security Platform, Contrast SCA provides third-party software visibility without the need to deploy any additional tooling
  • Avoid erroneous findings by assessing custom and third-party code simultaneously
  • Embed testing for vulnerable third-party libraries within native CI/CD and runtime testing
  • Flag library risk within cloud-native applications and block attacks on vulnerable libraries in production

Runtime Library Usage

Prioritize the most immediate risk based on which libraries are used

  • Highlight which libraries are used by the application and how often down to the specific class, file, or module
  • Prioritize remediation workflows based on which libraries are actually called at runtime
  • Enable developers to fix vulnerable libraries fast by focusing on the most relevant third-party software risk

Dependency Risk Management

Mitigate security debt by accounting for transitive dependency risk

  • Integrate the Contrast CLI into native CI/CD processes to populate the dependency tree and highlight potential risk
  • Flag software supply chain risk by identifying potential instances of dependency confusion
  • Contextualize how dependencies are pulled into the application to streamline remediation efforts

Real-Time Inventory and Governance

Stay up-to-date on third-party software inventory and institute scalable controls

  • Export library versioning, vulnerability, licensing and environment data to a standardized Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)
  • Ensure rapid response to emerging threats with automated alerts for new vulnerabilities in deployed libraries
  • Institute scalable policy controls for third-party security and licensing and enforce within native pipelines
