Synopsys software composition analysis (SCA) helps you secure your software supply chain, automatically identifying open source and third-party dependencies in any codebase, application, or container.

Complete visibility

Multiple scan technologies give you a complete view of open source, third-party, and custom component dependencies in source code, containers, and binaries.

Faster remediation

Independently researched vulnerability, license, and component health insights streamline component selection, as well as issue prioritization and remediation.

Automated governance

Out-of-the-box and customizable policies enable you to integrate and automate open source governance into your development workflows and tool chains.  

Take control of your software supply chain


Modern applications aren’t just built, they’re assembled. Over 75% of the code comes from open source and third-party software supply chain dependencies. With Synopsys SCA, you can automatically track and manage the components used in your applications.

  • Know what’s in your code
  • Combine fast direct and transitive dependency analysis with source and binary code scanning, and open source snippet detection to identify dependencies in any software—even AI-generated code.
  • Enforce open source policies
  • Define standard policies once and apply them uniformly across your teams and applications, so you can keep high-risk components, license types, and vulnerabilities from making it to production.
  • Identify, prioritize, and act on risk
  • Narrow your focus to the most important security, compliance, and component health risks, then drill down to get detailed and accurate insights to help you understand why a component poses a risk, the severity, and how your team can address it.
  • Build comprehensive SBOMs
  • Generate SPDX and CycloneDX Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) to satisfy industry, regulatory, and customer requirements. Integrate SBOMs from your suppliers to get a comprehensive view of your supply chain components and risks.
