Software Composition Analysis Is the Need of The Hour!

Want to Shift Left and Secure Right?

Supply Chain Attacks Are Getting harder to prevent

Supply chain attacks are becoming more common year on year. It’s easier for malicious actors to find a security hole in commonly used open-source components than to actively infect systems with malware.

  • Over 96% of Organizations Use Applications with Open-Source Components
  • Yet, there are at least 245K malicious packages among these open-source components
  • 1 out of 8 open-source libraries or components is laced with vulnerabilities or other risks

  • XZ Utils Fiasco (March 2024)
    An attacker succeeded in adding a backdoor to ZZ Utils, a utility used by many compression tools like liblzma. Liblzma is, in turn, used by SSH in Linux distros using systemd. If the backdoor hadn’t been caught early, it would have resulted in a cyber attack of unprecedented intensity.
  • NPM Modules Typo Squatting (2022)
    Developers often reuse NPM modules from the NPM package manager for their Node.js projects. In 2022 attackers planted malicious NPM modules having names that were similar to legitimate ones. Once implemented, these modules could be used to steal sensitive user data.
  • MoveIT Vulnerability (2023)
    In 2023, it was revealed that MOVEit, a software that companies use to securely transfer sensitive files, had a severe SQL injection vulnerability. Attackers used this vulnerability to target high-value companies like British Airways and BBC and stole sensitive data of employees and customers.

It’s not humanly possible to replace all the open-source libraries that you use with proprietary code. The only way to keep yourself protected is to enhance emphasis on Software Composition Analysis.

Integrate Software Composition Analysis (SCA) within one perimeter CNAPP

AccuKnox brings Software Composition Analysis into the fold of your larger Cloud Native Application Protection Platform. The benefit? SCA will no longer be an afterthought!

Integration With SonaType

Take advantage of unified threat intelligence by consolidating software composition scans with findings from other SAST and DAST tools. No part of your workload will be left unscanned.

  • Automated scanning of open-source libraries for known and newly discovered vulnerabilities.
  • Comply with open-source licensing obligation.
  • Consolidate software composition analysis with other findings for a 360-degree security.

Integration With Trivy

Software Composition Analysis FAQs

The SCA offering automates scanning of open-source libraries for both known and newly-discovered vulnerabilities, checks for compliance with open-source licensing, and consolidates SCA findings with other security testing results (such as SAST and DAST) to provide a 360-degree view. (AccuKnox)
It supports integration with SonaType for unified threat intelligence across SAST/DAST/SCA, and with Trivy to scan container images and integrate SCA into CI/CD pipelines.
Over 96% of organisations use applications containing open-source components, there are at least 245 000 malicious packages within those open-source components, and about 1 in 8 open-source libraries or components contains vulnerabilities or other risks.
AccuKnox describes SCA as being integrated “within one perimeter CNAPP” so that it is not treated as an after-thought; it’s folded into the broader Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) alongside modules like SAST and DAST.
The SCA capability can detect known vulnerabilities in open-source/third-party components, licensing compliance issues, outdated libraries, and conflicts in transitive dependencies including those that may inherit risk from deeper dependency graphs.
It identifies the open-source licences associated with each component, flags potentially conflicting or risky licences based on organisational policies, and helps organisations avoid accidental use of components with incompatible licences — reducing legal and compliance risks.
Embedding SCA into CI/CD enables continuous monitoring of third-party components during development, catching vulnerable or non-compliant dependencies early, reducing security and legal risks, and automating checks with each build or code change.
