Mend SCA (software composition analysis), previously Whitesource, helps detect open-source software dependencies by identifying if they are up to date, contain security flaws or have licensing requirements. Our teams have had good experience with integrating Mend SCA in their paths to production. Right from IDE integration, raising an automatic PR based on an identified issue to integrating into the CI/CD pipeline, this tool offers a great developer experience. Other popular SCA tools, such as Snyk, are comparable and also worth exploring for your security needs.
