Manage Security Vulnerabilities in Open Source Components.
Track Component Usage.

You have a critical mission – safeguarding your organization's IT assets and data. Naturally, you install firewalls and barriers, but these only take you so far. Success requires involving software development in the important job of ensuring application security. Tracking code vulnerabilities and installing patches is challenging with internal applications;especially with open source components. Open source saves developers a lot of work, but is often unidentified and untracked. A proliferation of unmanaged code components puts blind spots in your security monitoring. What if there was a routine way to manage the risk of using open source code components? Your role is to to establish robust security processes and policies without grinding productivity to a halt.
