Challenges

Software development is dynamic. Manual SBOMs aren’t.

With different teams using different tools, technology, and constantly updated open source software packages, maintaining an accurate SBOM can be incredibly difficult.

Constant change

From identifying all open source dependencies to continuously monitoring them for updates, staying on top of so many moving parts challenges many security teams.

Manual processes

The continuous stream of changing components and versions is nearly impossible to track manually without human error.

High-stakes automation

While automation is crucial to success, companies face increased risk if it isn’t done right.

Opportunities

Beyond static to effective

Using SBOMs to create software inventories to meet compliance or industry requirements is a great start. However, the possibilities beyond compliance are even more compelling.

Cut the risk of human error

Effective automation that automatically updates open source dependencies and packages across all applications eliminates error-prone manual processes.

Accurate risk assessment

Automating dependency identification provides an accurate and up-to-the minute accurate risk assessment and ensures license compliance.

Prioritize high-risk vulnerabilities

Not all vulnerabilities pose a risk. By knowing whether your code reaches vulnerable functions, you can prioritize remediation based on actual risk.

The solution

Navigate open source with confidence

Mend SCA automatically generates accurate and comprehensive SBOMs, incorporating VEX data and integrating third-party SBOMs to ensure your software’s security and compliance.

MTTR

“One of our most indicative KPIs is the amount of time for us to remediate vulnerabilities and also the amount of time developers spend fixing vulnerabilities in our code base, which has reduced significantly. We’re talking about at least 80% reduction in time.”

Fast, secure, compliant

“When the product you sell is an application you develop, your teams need to be fast, secure and compliant. These three factors often work in opposite directions. Mend provides the opportunity to align these often competing factors, providing Vonage with an advantage in a very competitive marketplace.”

Immediate insights

“The biggest value we get out of Mend is the fast feedback loop, which enables our developers to respond rapidly to any vulnerability or license issues. When a vulnerability or a license is disregarded or blocked, and there is a policy violation, they get the feedback directly.”
