Application Security professionals face enormous challenges securing their software supply chains, racing against time to beat the attacker to the mark.
Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools have become a basic instrument in the application security arsenal in the last 7 years. Although essential, many platforms end up creating more mess and driving the key pain in the industry – alert fatigue, leaving your supply chain exposed to critical vulnerabilities and malicious code attacks.
Fortunately, alongside the black hat hackers making their best efforts to find new attack vectors and surfaces, innovative security tools are breaking new ground, helping organizations stay secure despite emerging threats.
Myrror Security’s latest resource, “Your SCA is Broken Guide – The Missing Pieces In Your Software Composition Analysis Platform,” offers application security professionals a view into the traditional SCA tools of today and a glimpse into the tools of tomorrow. Reading through will give the reader a deep dive into how SCAs operate, their outputs, pitfalls, and most importantly – the essential features a truly robust software supply chain security tool should include.
While excelling at showing a (very) full picture of detected vulnerabilities, traditional SCA tools often fail to address the full spectrum of 3rd party risks.
Software supply chain security isn’t about giving application security professionals an exhausting list of vulnerabilities. It is about handling what is right to keep our organization protected.
SCA tools might be great at identifying known vulnerabilities, but they often miss on the deeper more systemic view of how to actually achieve security. Lack of relevant prioritization in a massive workload leads teams to treading water, eventually becoming fatigued as well as leaving their organization exposed.
Perhaps the most concerning aspect, handling only known vulnerabilities leaves a very open window for the unknown. Code attacks are the nightmare of every organization. Traditional SCAs overlook this vector, allowing the nightmare to become a reality. This is something that no organization should or could ignore.
Missing out on the above-mentioned aspects leaves gaps in our organization’s coverage and harms our security posture. Hence, in order to protect users, data, and assets – companies MUST move forward.
Software supply chain attacks are on the rise.
According to Gartner’s predictions, by 2025, 45% of organizations will be affected. Traditional Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools are not enough, and the time to act is now.
