Antivirus (EPP) and EDR

Antivirus (EPP) and EDR Antivirus (Endpoint Protection Platform – EPP) and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) are two essential cybersecurity solutions used to protect endpoint devices from malware and sophisticated cyber threats. While both aim to secure endpoint environments, they offer different capabilities and serve distinct purposes. What is Antivirus [...]


Open Source Code Analysis

Application Security admin todayApril 16, 2025

Background
share close

In today’s digital landscape, the majority of cyberattacks exploit vulnerabilities at the application layer. One of the most effective methods for securing applications is through thorough source code analysis. Even a minor vulnerability left in the foundational code of an application can lead to major breaches. This is why Secure Future strongly recommends incorporating source code analysis into development lifecycles.

The Prevalence and Risk of Open Source Components

Research indicates that 60% to 80% of a typical software project is composed of open source libraries and components. Traditional static code analysis tools, while effective, often focus solely on custom-developed code, potentially overlooking the vulnerabilities hidden in these widely used open source dependencies.

Comprehensive Open Source Security with WhiteSource

Through our strategic partnership with WhiteSource, a global leader in open source security, we offer:

  • Open Source Inventory: Full visibility into all open source libraries and components in your codebase.
  • Vulnerability Detection: Identification of known security issues in the open source components used.
  • Impact Assessment: Insight into whether your code actually makes use of the vulnerable functionality.
  • Remediation Guidance: Actionable recommendations to patch and mitigate discovered vulnerabilities.
  • License Compliance Analysis: Identification of legal and operational risks tied to open source licensing.

Why Open Source Code Security Matters

While open source accelerates development, it can also introduce significant risk. Dependencies that are not properly maintained or audited can become attack vectors for cybercriminals. With solutions like WhiteSource, organizations can maintain robust visibility and control over the security of third-party code.

Implementing a proactive open source security strategy is essential for minimizing risk, maintaining compliance, and ensuring the long-term integrity of your software products.
