2018-04-09 SourceClear

San Francisco, California, United States

SourceClear is a technological leader with groundbreaking innovations in software composition analysis (SCA). SourceClear's SCA solution not only tells you which applications have a vulnerable component, it tells you whether or not the functionality is being used - something no other SCA solution can offer. This greatly reduces the false positives related to functions that exist in the open source library but pose no practical risk because they are not used by the application. It also allows developers to prioritize which components to fix, saving time while reducing risk.
