Composition Analysis

Identify, prioritize, and remediate open source risk in your applications, including vulnerabilities, malicious code, and license risks  

Everything You Need To
Mitigate Open Source Risk

Checkmarx provides extensive coverage and accurate results
across the core SCA software functions

Software vulnerability detection 

Identify vulnerabilities and license risks in your open source libraries, based on our analysis of >1M packages a month. Then easily address them with actionable remediation guidance. 

Exploitable Path 

Prioritize remediation in open source libraries by identifying vulnerable methods that are called by your code, and exploitable in your applications, to reduce the noise by
up to 70%.  

Malicious package detection 

Prevent malicious code from open source repositories from getting into your application. Checkmarx has identified more than 200,000 malicious packages to date

Software Bill Of Materials (SBOM)

Easily build an SBOM for your projects to inventory all the software components in your applications and understand your open source risk.  

Private package scanning 

Scan and analyze private packages in artifactories and internal registries for deeper insights into dependencies and potential risks.  

AI-Generated Code Scanning  

Protect against attacks caused by malicious open source packages and dependencies, while working within popular AI code generation tools such as ChatGPT.

Frequently Asked Questions

Static application security testing (SAST) scans proprietary code written by your developers for security vulnerabilities. Software composition analysis (SCA) scans open source libraries and 3rd-party components for security vulnerabilities, license risks, and other types of risks.


Because modern applications comprise proprietary code, open source libraries, and 3rd-party components, application security programs typically utilize both SAST and SCA to provide more insights to the codebase, and ensure the quality and security of the software.   

A software bill of materials (SBOM) is a file that lists all the components within an application, including open source and 3rd-party components.


SBOMs help organizations see the makeup of an application to understand, assess, and address the security risk across all of its underlying components.

Checkmarx SCA can be easily integrated as part of your CI/CD pipeline, seamlessly working with a wide variety of CI/CD tools, including Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, TeamCity, Bamboo.

 

Checkmarx SCA also integrates with all the most popular IDEs, including Visual Studio, VS Code, JetBrains, and Eclipse.

Checkmarx SCA is available as part of the Checkmarx One platform. Developers can also get it through a free plugin within JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate and Visual Studio Code
