@reviewer1140534 What experience do you have with this tool? I'm looking for NCM alternative for a medium size network (3000 network devices like routers and switches)

@Bernd Harzog I agree that protecting a supply chain is key in any type of manufacturing (and I include software development in that). Massive investment such as Jim suggests needs to be balanced against business, reputational and financial risk. Whilst it is wrong to "sacrifice the boat for a penny of tar" it is equally wrong to protect a penny of tar with a nuclear warhead. A balance must be made. I'm sure Solarwinds (e.g. Centreon) and others are now feeling the effects of that assessment.May I respectfully suggest that if there was some sort of midway solution whereby certain security sensitive components of proprietary software are made open source then the entire industry benefits.
Having source code available to the widest possible audience for analysis and review tends to reduce the security risk of such software. We only need to look at vast swathes of Linux and Apache projects to see the effect.
I'm not some sort of Linux evangelist, just someone who believes that "Security through obscurity" is doomed to eternal failure.
