    Backslash Security
    Ensure the security of your code and open sources. Identify externally reachable data flows and vulnerabilities for effective risk mitigation. By identifying genuine attack paths to reachable code, we enable you to fix only the code and open-source software that is truly in use and reachable. Avoid unnecessary overloading of development teams with irrelevant vulnerabilities. Prioritize risk mitigation efforts more effectively, ensuring a focused and efficient security approach. Reduce the noise CSPM, CNAPP, and other runtime tools create by removing unreachable packages before running your applications. Meticulously analyze your software components and dependencies, identifying any known vulnerabilities or outdated libraries that could pose a threat. Backslash analyzes both direct and transitive packages, ensuring 100% reachability coverage. It outperforms existing tools that solely focus on direct packages, accounting for only 11% of packages.

    Contrast Security

    Contrast Security

    Contrast Security

    Modern software development must match the speed of the business. But the modern AppSec tool soup lacks integration and creates complexity that slows software development life cycles. Contrast simplifies the complexity that impedes today’s development teams. Legacy AppSec employs a one-size-fits-all vulnerability detection and remediation approach that is inefficient and costly. Contrast automatically applies the best analysis and remediation technique, dramatically improving efficiencies and efficacy. Separate AppSec tools create silos that obfuscate the gathering of actionable intelligence across the application attack surface. Contrast delivers centralized observability that is critical to managing risks and capitalizing on operational efficiencies, both for security and development teams. Contrast Scan is pipeline native and delivers the speed, accuracy, and integration demanded by modern software development.

    SCANOSS

    SCANOSS

    SCANOSS

    SCANOSS believes now is the time to reinvent Software Composition Analysis with a goal of ‘start left’ and a focus first on the foundation of reliable SCA, the SBOM. An SBOM that does not require a small army of auditors to make it usable. So, SCANOSS provides an SBOM that that is ‘always on’. SCANOSS released the first entirely Open Source SCA software platform for Open Source Inventorying, specifically designed for modern development (DevOps) environments. SCANOSS also released the first Open OSS Knowledge Base, free to the community. Our architecture is API-centric, built for developers. The “shift left” paradigm brings license compliance validation to the earliest possible stage in a development process. We can go as left as intercepting a CTRL-V in your IDE before undeclared Open Source is pasted. The first Open Source Inventorying engine built specifically for modern development and DevOps teams of all sizes.

    ActiveState

    ActiveState

    ActiveState

    ActiveState delivers Intelligent Remediation for vulnerability management, which enables DevSecOps teams to not only identify vulnerabilities in open source packages, but also to automatically prioritize, remediate, and deploy fixes into production without breaking changes, ensuring that applications are truly secured. Existing tools overwhelm DevSecOps teams with excessive vulnerability data, false positives, and a lack of prioritization, often leading to inaction and increased exposure to exploits. ActiveState’s solution provides your DevSecOps with a comprehensive view of open source vulnerability status across your application portfolio, enabling them to prioritize the vulnerabilities that matter, assess the risk of updates, and choose recommended remediation paths based on corporate policies and avoiding breaking changes. We do this by helping you understand your vulnerability blast radius, intelligently prioritize remediations, and precisely remediate what matters.

    Phylum

    Phylum

    Phylum

    Phylum defends applications at the perimeter of the open-source ecosystem and the tools used to build software. Its automated analysis engine scans third-party code as soon as it’s published into the open-source ecosystem to vet software packages, identify risks, inform users and block attacks. Think of Phylum like a firewall for open-source code. Phylum’s database of open-source software supply chain risks is the most comprehensive and scalable offering available, and can be deployed throughout the development lifecycle depending on an organization’s infrastructure and appsec program maturity: in front of artifact repository managers, directly with package managers or in CI/CD pipelines. The Phylum policy library allows users to toggle on the blocking of critical vulnerabilities, attacks like typosquats, obfuscated code and dependency confusion, copyleft licenses, and more. Users can also leverage OPA to create custom policies.

    IDA Pro

    IDA Pro

    Hex-Rays

    IDA Pro as a disassembler is capable of creating maps of their execution to show the binary instructions that are actually executed by the processor in a symbolic representation (assembly language). Advanced techniques have been implemented into IDA Pro so that it can generate assembly language source code from machine-executable code and make this complex code more human-readable. The debugging feature augmented IDA with the dynamic analysis. It supports multiple debugging targets and can handle remote applications. Its cross-platform debugging capability enables instant debugging, easy connection to both local and remote processes and support for 64-bit systems and new connection possibilities. IDA Pro allows the human analyst to override its decisions or to provide hints so that the analyst can work seamlessly and quickly with the disassembler and analyze binary code more intuitively.
