GitGuardian released its Software Composition Analysis (SCA) module.

GitGuardian SCA is designed for use in fast-paced DevSecOps environments. The latest addition to GitGuardian's code security platform equips security and developer teams with a unified vulnerability remediation solution, capitalizing on cross-team collaboration, incident visibility, and context.

It enables security engineers to swiftly identify all applications with unsafe dependencies, automatically prioritize incidents by severity, and prompt developers to fix them. Software engineers are provided with remediation guidance to maintain delivery speed and agility while elevating their security posture.

SCA detailed analytics allow application security teams to monitor their vulnerability exposure and track their remediation performance. GitGuardian empowers them to identify and eliminate bottlenecks for a streamlined development process.

Furthermore, the SCA module evaluates and communicates the legal risks in the software supply chain. This information is crucial to prevent threats to organizations’ intellectual property and ensure compliance with license and security policies.

To adhere to constantly evolving government regulations on software, legal counsel can generate comprehensive SBOM of applications' open-source and third-party components, along with their nested dependencies.

GitGuardian’s constant support of shift-left practices helps reconcile software and security engineer teams without sacrificing execution speed. In its ongoing efforts to reduce organizations' attack surface, GitGuardian extends SCA capabilities to its CLI tool ggshield. It adds layers of verifications at each step of the development process, from local developer environments to continuous integration (CI) pipelines.
