What’s unique about WhiteSource?
It’s very easy to deploy and is a lightweight agent.
you’ve got the option to integrate it within minutes into your existing pipeline.
We have a very accurate system.
We can identify all open-source files that go into your commercial software and match the vulnerable files.
We tell you exactly which vulnerable open-source components have relevant impact on your software.
We call this Effective Usage Analysis.
What is the problem with open source security as opposed to proprietary code?
