Software Composition Analysis

Accelerate Secure Development with Real-Time SCA

Take the heavy lifting out of third-party package vulnerability management and mitigation. Automatically scan third-party packages, identify owners, leverage developer-native tool integrations, and deliver the best mitigation paths directly to your developers.  

Try Arnica for SCA

Give Your Developers Security Superpowers

Real-Time Software Composition Analysis (SCA)

Identify vulnerable third-party dependencies in real-time as they are added or modified, enabling developers to address vulnerabilities early. Collaborate directly via Slack, Microsoft Teams, or source code management tools to boost vulnerability remediation.

Effortlessly Prioritize Your Most Important SCA Risks

Establish business importance and ownership for every repository and branch. Update finding severity based on CVSS, EPSS, & KEV. Identify package method level reachability and aggregate vulnerabilities on the direct dependency and display a dependency graph of all transitive dependencies at any depth.

Make SCA Mitigation Easy

Leverage rich ChatOps workflows to deliver the best patch, minor, and major version change directly to the developer in chat or within the pull request instead of simply suggesting the latest package version. Even communicate partial fixes to your developers (e.g. one that fixes all critical and high CVEs).

100% SCA Visibility, Always

Real-Time

Real-Time Developer Security Alerts

Maintain comprehensive and effective code vulnerability management by ensuring full code coverage across every repository and branch.

More on Chatops
Detect SCA risks in real-rime

Detect and prioritize newly added Software Composition Analysis (SCA) risks in real-time on every code push.

Dependency visibility at any depth

Visualize every direct and indirect dependency, at any depth within your code, using Arnica’s dependency graph, across your entire code base.

Protect new code assets

Automatically run full Software Composition Analysis (SCA) scanning on any new repository or branch added to your development environment.

Auto-update existing findings

Auto-update SCA findings when the code context changes (e.g. CVE risk changed, EPSS score changed, new CVE detected, code modified).

Risk Context

Deep SCA Finding Context

rovide your development and security engineering teams with deep context for every SCA vulnerability to establish clear priorities and inform powerful policy-driven mitigation workflows.

View Case Studies
Use context & reachability to prioritize important risks

Differentiate dev and non-dev packages while leveraging function level reachability and git context to prioritize the most important SCA vulnerabilities.  

Identify internal packages

Automatically identify internal package repos without agents or having to connect Artifactory or Nexus and assign them to the appropriate internal maintainers.

Full package history

View a complete history of each vulnerable package, who introduced it, where it exists in your code, and mitigation actions available or taken.

Blended severity scoring

Leverage blended security scores across Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV), and Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS).

Automation

Best Path SCA Mitigations

Keep your developers on the best path by empowering them to make informed package upgrade decisions based on security impact and operational risk.

More on Automated Mitigations
Focus on fixable risks

Deprioritize SCA findings without an associated known fix to avoid giving your developers busy work. wners for each risk. Provide those owners with the full context of the risk and the mitigation action they should take.

Right mitigation, right time

Provide multiple mitigation paths for an SCA vulnerability and communicate the range of impact a developer can make based on the patch, minor or major version change

Bundle vulnerabilities for easy mitigation

Group transitive SCA vulnerabilities under their corresponding direct

Full finding context

Provide developers with full risk details, organization-specific context, and mitigation actions for every SCA vulnerability.

Customer testimonials

Hear what Arnica users have to say about how pipelineless security helped them build their own world-class application security program.

See case studies
We established our top priority SCA findings and we were able to get granular about what to focus on. We established a highly refined definition of severity that fit our program and established an explicit agreement with our security champions and the engineering teams that we were only going to surface findings that had a fix.

For risks outputs from Static Application Security Testing (SAST) or Software Composition Analysis (SCA), we’ve been able to reduce mean-time-to-awareness of the risk for the developer as well as mean-time-to-remediation.

With Arnica’s full coverage and visibility, we’ve been able to establish a clear view on what our vulnerabilities are, when we found them, who’s worked on them, who caused them, who resolved them, and so much more.

Advantages of Using Arnica Software Composition Analysis (SCA)

100% Software Dependency Coverage, Always

Arnica’s pipelineless approach to Software Composition Analysis (SCA) guarantees full coverage across every repository and branch – even for newly added assets. No need for IDE plugins or for developers to deploy CLI scanners in CI/CD pipelines. Pipelineless means full coverage with real-time scanning to address the most important SCA risks, early in development.

Developer Native SCA Mitigation Workflows

Collaborate with your developers in real-time in the tools they already use to make risk mitigation easy. Use ChatOps to drive security impact directly via Slack or Microsoft Teams. Let Arnica comment on the pull request with a menu of mitigation options. Enable policy-driven dismissal workflows that auto-open and auto-close tickets in Jira or Azure DevOps Boards.

Pave the Best Path for Your Developers

Developers understand their code best, including the impact of any changes, so just suggesting the most recent version upgrade is unhelpful. Arnica evaluates every possible upgrade—patches, minor, and major—while communicating security impact of the change, empowering developers to make informed decisions on which upgrades to implement.

Go Beyond Security Risks with Package Reputation

Empower developers to avoid malware with key reputational traits such as release count, days since last publish, number of recent downloads, number of dependent packages, OpenSSF score, and number of GitHub stars.

Take the heavy lifting out of SCA risk mitigation.

Leverage developer-native workflows and provide guidance on the best patch, minor, and major fix path to the developer to keep them focused on pushing code.
