#Application Protection#Application Security
StepSecurity is a platform that enhances GitHub Actions security by providing network egress control, risk discovery, action replacement, and security best practices orchestration.
Checkmarx Software Composition Analysis (SCA) - A Comprehensive Overview
Checkmarx Software Composition Analysis (SCA) is a security solution that helps in identifying, prioritizing, and addressing risks associated with open source components found within applications.
The tool scans software dependencies for vulnerabilities and compliance
The tool scans software dependencies to identify vulnerabilities, detect malicious code, and assess license compliance issues in open source libraries.
Exploitable Path Analysis for Effective Remediation Efforts
Exploitable path analysis helps prioritize remediation efforts by identifying which vulnerabilities are accessible to attackers. This enables organizations to focus on the most critical security issues first.
Key capabilities include:
- Detecting software vulnerabilities in open-source libraries
- Identifying potentially harmful dependencies through malicious package detection
- Generating a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for enhanced transparency
- Scanning private packages for internal libraries
- Utilizing AI-generated code scanning capabilities
- Integrating seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines and development workflows
Checkmarx SCA is part of the broader Checkmarx One platform, which provides a unified approach to application security testing.
