  In today’s fast-paced software development environment, the reliance on open-source software (OSS) and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components has become a norm. These pre-built libraries and frameworks allow organizations to accelerate development, reduce costs, and focus on building unique functionalities rather than reinventing the wheel. However, with these benefits comes a heightened risk: hidden vulnerabilities, licensing concerns, and operational pitfalls that can severely compromise security and compliance. This is where Software Composition Analysis (SCA) comes in. SCA tools automate the examination of applications throughout their development lifecycle, providing visibility into the software supply chain and ensuring the safe and responsible use of third-party code. Understanding Software Composition Analysis At its core, SCA is a process that identifies, evaluates, and manages the risks associated with third-party components integrated into proprietary applic...
