Effective Usage Analysis Technology

This video introduces the concept of effective usage analysis and how it helps you prioritize and remediate open source vulnerabilities more effectively.
You'll learn how this capability can dramatically reduce alert noise, highlight only what matters, and give developers the confidence to act quickly and accurately.

Effective usage analysis is a smart approach to vulnerability detection that focuses on whether a vulnerable piece of open source code is actually being used by your application. Unlike traditional scanning tools that flag every known issue in a dependency, this method analyzes your code paths to determine which vulnerabilities are truly reachable and exploitable.

By focusing only on what’s actively used, effective usage analysis cuts through the noise and helps teams zero in on the real risks. In fact, early use of this approach showed that it could reduce the number of open source vulnerabilities requiring action by up to 70%, helping security teams and developers avoid unnecessary remediation work.

This video explains how effective usage analysis transforms AppSec from a burden into a productivity boost. By providing clear, context-aware insights, it helps developers understand which vulnerabilities actually pose a threat—resulting in faster, more confident decision-making.

Instead of overwhelming teams with alerts, effective usage analysis delivers actionable intelligence. It not only improves remediation accuracy, but also builds trust in your security tooling—so developers spend less time second-guessing and more time shipping secure software.
