Manage open source AppSec risk
Developers rely on open source packages—but if you can’t proactively manage open source components and dependencies, your organization is at risk
Constant OSS updates
In one corner: An open source community that constantly updates open source packages, making it hard to keep up with vulnerability information for each package. Finding accurate, up-to-date information about vulnerabilities is a real challenge.
Time-strapped teams
In the other corner: AppSec teams using outmoded legacy tools to manage vulnerabilities and updates across thousands – or tens of thousands – of packages.
Manually mapping vulnerabilities across all the open source code used by your developers takes up a great deal of time and energy.
Opportunity for hackers
And the winner is: Cybercriminals, who see open source packages as a rich source of exploitable vulnerabilities and vehicles for creating malicious packages.
Fast feedback helps devs respond rapidly to open source vulnerabilities

Mend SCA identifies, maps, and analyzes open source vulnerabilities, enabling you to prioritize remediations based on application and enterprise risk.
Advanced reachability analysis
Once vulnerable dependencies are identified, Mend SCA produces a call graph that clearly shows whether or not your code reaches vulnerable functions in direct and transitive dependencies.
Risk-based prioritization
Mend SCA takes into account exploitability and CVSS 4.0 scoring, enabling you to prioritize remediation of the vulnerabilities that pose the highest risk to your organization.
Malicious package protection
From protestware to data stealers and crypto miners, Mend SCA uses unique detection methods to protect your code from the most cleverly disguised open source malware.
Holistic policy automation
Mend SCA also lets you design and implement automated risk-based policies to ensure the highest priority threats to your organization are always remediated quickly.
