Why do I need a SCA tool?

A Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tool helps teams manage the risks that come with using open source software. It identifies known vulnerabilities, license issues, and outdated components in your dependencies. SCA tools allow you to fix problems early, avoid legal trouble, and keep your applications secure, stable, and compliant throughout the development lifecycle.

How many data sources does Sonatype have?

Our diverse data sources power our SCA tools, enhancing risk visibility, safety, and code quality. We run data collection 24/7 from hundreds of sources, using four core analysis types: Open Source Repositories, Automated Vulnerability Detection, Behavioral Analysis, and Consumption Analysis.

How are Sonatype’s automated pull requests different from other automated pull request tools like GitHub Dependabot and Mend Renovate?

Sonatype’s Golden Pull Requests guarantee no build breaks and eliminate both direct and transitive risks, unlike GitHub Dependabot and Mend Renovate, which lack the data fidelity and compatibility to reliably and safely automate upgrades.

How does Sonatype Lifecycle help me deal with OSS licences?

Sonatype allows you to set policies on 2000+ open source licenses in our database. Use default or custom policies to flag risky licenses (categorized by license threat groups), analyze legal risks, and resolve issues with our legal workflows. Save time on license obligation reporting and compliance with the Sonatype Advanced Legal Pack add-on.

Does Sonatype Lifecycle support container scanning?

Yes, containers and Kubernetes deployments are secured in Lifecycle. Continuously scan builds and monitor registry images, running automated security tests to catch vulnerabilities early.

Does Sonatype have reachability or call flow analysis?

Yes, Sonatype uses reachability, along with other technologies such as breaking changes data and upgrade availability, to provide critical context for prioritizing which issues to fix first.

Does Sonatype support InnerSource?

Yes, Sonatype supports InnerSource by automatically tracking when a new version of an internal library is released, automatically opening Pull requests in all consuming applications and promoting the version that meets governance standards, propagating risk reduction throughout the portfolio.
