Product
Open-Source Management Platform that offers the industry’s most comprehensive license inventory and vulnerabilities database, integrating seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines.
The tool integrates seamlessly into IDEs to shift security measures left and supports real-time notifications and alerts through platforms like Slack, JIRA, or email. It enables managing open-source issues directly within existing workflows, making open source ubiquitous, risk-free, and exponentially more valuable.
Business needs
The company encountered a critical challenge: transcending mere vulnerability identification in Software Build of Materials (SBOM) and determining real-world exploitability. This innovative approach aimed to equip the company’s clients with a more nuanced understanding of their security posture, shifting from simple identification to actionable, risk-based insights.
As a result, the client needed to:
- Enhance the accuracy of their vulnerability data to outpace competitors.
- A reliable and precise dataset for identifying and categorizing security vulnerabilities.
- Maintain competitiveness while strengthening the security posture.
- Expanded and enriched the vulnerability database by manually reviewing and processing up to 120 vulnerabilities per day, covering approximately 39,400 CVE records from 1999 to the present.
- Enhanced the vulnerability identification and cataloging process, ensuring the most critical and relevant security information was readily accessible.
- Standardized the representation of vulnerability data, ensuring consistency and accuracy across the system.
- Developed custom Python scripts to support the manual review process, allowing for precise categorization and seamless integration of CVEs into the system.
- Applied additional scripting in Java and Python for advanced analysis and dynamic handling of complex security issues.
- Introduced an automated framework to streamline the investigation of CVEs, combining human expertise with machine efficiency for improved speed and accuracy.
- Designed the solution with scalability in mind, utilizing containerization and optimized data management to process large volumes of open-source security data.
