Contrast Security Adds SCA to Codesec for Free
August 08, 2022

Contrast Security announced that software composition analysis (SCA) is now available for free in CodeSec.

CodeSec offers free application security testing and SCA in a single, developer-friendly interface.

The new SCA feature will enable developers to easily identify vulnerable third-party libraries quickly and accurately, getting secure code moving in minutes.

With a frictionless install, quick scanning of open source software (OSS) and immediate actionable results, developers can start to ship code confidently while easily creating a standardized software bill of materials (SBOM) to manage supply chain risk.

CodeSec makes developer security more efficient and accurate by delivering the following capabilities right to the developer's laptop for free:

- Discover dependencies: Secure vulnerable libraries (in Java, Javascript, Python, Ruby, GO, PHP, .NET) in OSS with lightning speed, accurate scans (SCA), and actionable remediation guidance to ship code faster and create standardized SBOMs with ease.

- Secure your code: Optimize code security for Java, Javascript and .NET applications with fast, industry-leading (SAST) scans and actionable remediation guidance, in a simple command line interface. Additionally, developers can secure GitHub pipelines with Contrast GitHub Actions for free.

- Secure your cloud native applications: Take advantage of a new ground-breaking application security tool for serverless environments in Amazon Web Services (AWS) Lambda Functions (Java + Python) that detects cloud-native vulnerabilities quickly and accurately while providing actionable remediation guidance in a simple command line interface (CLI).

Contrast's new SCA feature within CodeSec enables developers to easily identify the vulnerable libraries in OSS while providing actionable remediation guidance to ship code faster and manage software supply chain risk by allowing developers to create SBOMs with ease.

"Deploying code quickly is key in this market. That's why current-day developers heavily rely on open source code to keep pace with the demands of companies. Those same companies are getting pressure to develop SBOMs and increase visibility into the components that make up the applications they're creating and using each day," said Jeff Williams, co-founder and CTO at Contrast Security. "CodeSec is the answer developers have been waiting for -- a single free tool that quickly and accurately identifies vulnerabilities in custom code, open source, and serverless functions. Instead of wasting time configuring, integrating, and running multiple different security tools, CodeSec provides exactly what developers need."
