Instead of creating applications from scratch, today's developers start with open-source components and then copy, extend, and glue them together. It’s faster, it’s cheaper, and it means that open-source libraries and frameworks now make up the vast majority of the source code used by companies today. This change is not lost on hackers. For them, reusable code equals reusable vulnerabilities.
We at SourceClear help you secure your open-source code from hackers by creating a real-time inventory of your open-source components. We show you where they came from, who created them, and exactly what they are doing in their applications. We detail vulnerabilities that could be used by hackers to compromise applications and customer data and provide clear guidance on fixes.
Our data-science and machine learning platform digs into the depths of open-source vulnerabilities at scale and at speed, uncovering issues not yet disclosed to the public. We take care of security for open-source code so that you can focus on your business: shipping features and delighting users.
