FOSSA: Understanding SCA Tools to Master Your Risk Management

SCA (Software Composition Analysis) tools are crucial for effective risk management in software development. These tools help to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities that may exist in third-party and open source software components used in applications.

To master risk management with SCA tools, it is important to understand their capabilities and limitations. 

By effectively utilising SCA tools, developers can reduce the risk of security breaches and ensure that their applications comply with open source licensing requirements. With continuous monitoring and improvement, SCA tools can help organisations stay ahead of potential security threats and maintain a strong security posture.
