Checkmarx Software Composition Analysis vs FlexNet Code Insight comparison

Checkmarx Software Composition Analysis (SCA) helps organizations manage the risks associated with open source and third-party components in their software applications. While leveraging open source libraries and third-party dependencies is common practice, it can also introduce security vulnerabilities and license risks.

Checkmarx SCA offers a multifaceted approach to managing these risks by:

• Automatically scanning project repositories, build configurations, and manifests to create a comprehensive inventory of all components, including version information and associated licenses.

• Performing vulnerability assessments on each component, including identifying and prioritizing actual exploitable or reachable vulnerabilities.

• Protecting organizations from software supply chain attacks involving malicious packages, such as the XZ Utils backdoor.

• Identifying licenses associated and providing insights into license obligations, restrictions, and potential conflicts.

• Integrating seamlessly into existing development workflows and CI/CD pipelines.

• Providing actionable remediation guidance to help organizations address identified vulnerabilities and compliance issues effectively.
