The Veracode SCA advantage
Industry-leading software composition analysis
Speed is crucial in today’s development world, but open-source code introduces risks that can slow you down. Our cutting-edge capabilities give you actionable visibility into OSS components, so you can use open source confidently and keep your release cycles moving fast.
Detect and block malicious packages
Harness advanced machine learning and threat intelligence to detect and block malicious packages with 60% greater accuracy — preventing supply chain attacks before they start.
Start testing immediately
Scan where developers work—IDEs, repositories, and CI/CD workflows. With broad support for both cloud-native and traditional languages and ultra-accurate testing, developers can set up, scan, and get results in minutes
Pinpoint vulnerabilities. Fix smarter.
Zero in on the code that matters most. Vulnerability Method Analysis pinpoints where your code interacts with risks in libraries and components. Prioritize using exploit paths, dependency relationships, and actionable insights—cutting out false positives for targeted, high-impact fixes.
Save development time
With auto-pull requests, targeted “best-fix” actions, and automated remediation, developers can fix issues faster, directly in their environment—reducing work time from hours to minutes.
Stay ahead of newly discovered vulnerabilities
Powered by 6+ years of machine learning, our proprietary database pinpoints new vulnerabilities and license issues before they go public, so your team can act quickly and stay ahead with confidence.
Extra features you’ll love
Manage open source. Secure with confidence.
Our core functionality combines comprehensive coverage and contextual prioritization with intelligent remediation and actionability visibility, so your development stays agile while meeting evolving open-source security and compliance needs.
Integrated developer experience
Run scans, get fix suggestions, and remediate issues all from the IDE or CLI, without switching environments.
Dependency graphs
Identify direct and indirect vulnerabilities and precisely prioritize those impacting the execution path.
Auto-pull requests
Context-aware auto-pull requests apply the best fix with guidance on how it impacts code functionality.
Software bill of materials
Generate and scan an SBOM to inventory open-source components in CycloneDX and SPDX formats.
Automated, flexible policy
Custom policy management enables code quality gates on what matters most to your organization.
Unified reporting & analytics
Centralized cross-risk analysis, vulnerability and legal risk results, and auditable mitigation workflows.
Secure your software supply chain
Reduce vulnerability fix times and ensure open-source compliance, throughout the SDLC with immediate testing and fast feedback.
