IBM® Rational® ClearCase® offers complete software configuration management. The solution provides sophisticated version control, workspace management, parallel development support and build auditing to improve productivity. IBM has been a leader in supporting and promoting open source software. An important aspect of pervasive open source use today is the management and security of it within mission critical applications.

Palamida Enterprise Edition is now integrated with IBM® Rational® ClearCase® to extend application security further into the development cycle. Integration between Palamida Enterprise Edition and IBM Rational ClearCase enables automated code audits, the process of inventorying the open source software in use and alerting on security vulnerability issues, as part of the normal application build and release cycle. The integration helps ensure that security vulnerability and intellectual property issues are exposed early in the application development cycle when remediation is simpler and less costly.

Integration with IBM Rational ClearCase provides mutual customers the following benefits:

• A new level of security functionality for increased return on investment in using IBM Rational tools and services.
• Complementary application security solution to IBM’s existing security software such as IBM Rational AppScan, which enables static testing of source code. With the new integration, joint customers now have a solution for software composition analysis, which addresses open source vulnerabilities including those in binary form.
• A reliable framework within the development cycle for security and IP stakeholders to collaborate in the approval, analysis, and remediation of security and IP issues utilizing alerts of violations against established policies, and maintain a record of the decisions for remediation.
