Software Risk Management for Open Source

With the addition of our new vulnerability reporting feature, we've expanded our market. It just seemed to make sense. We have spent our time and energy on building the technology to allow us to detect software content with the goal of giving our customers an accurate view of the makeup of their code. The questions we answer are "what open source and other third party code are we using? Where are we using it? what rights do we have?" and now "does it have any know vulnerabilities?". So we're taking advantage of what we know how to do very well, and extending it.

The more you know what you have — the more confident you can be in its use.

We're really pleased to have taken this step. Our customers have already told us they agree. I'll talk more about it in upcoming posts.
