How Socket's Next-Gen SCA Outperforms Traditional Tools
Socket goes beyond traditional SCA tools by not only flagging CVEs but also performing content-based dependency analysis to detect malicious patterns and sophisticated supply chain attacks, including zero-day threats. Our app is loved by developers due to its effortless integration into your CI/CD pipeline and precise notifications that reduce alert fatigue. With best-in-class license scanning and enforcement for OSS compliance, Socket ensures comprehensive enterprise supply chain security.
Why Our Customers Love Socket
The attacks we see today require organizations to look beyond traditional vulnerability scanners and use more proactive AI-powered tools earlier in the software development cycle. This is a major shift in how organizations have secured open source code in the past. Socket is a pioneer in malicious detection and offers best-in-class license scanning, leveraging our deep expertise in open source software to provide our customers with unparallel security when it counts.
What is Software Composition Analysis?
Software Composition Analysis (SCA) is a critical practice that identifies and manages all open source and third-party components within a software application. By analyzing dependencies, licenses, and potential vulnerabilities, SCA ensures your software is secure, compliant, and free from hidden risks. Socket goes beyond traditional SCA tools to provide AI-powered threat detection, analyzing the actual code of your dependencies, early in the development process.
