Software Composition Analysis

It's extremely powerful to immediately see which services are vulnerable, the time since detection, and how to fix the vulnerabilities. It makes it much easier to investigate and remediate issues across all vulnerable services.

Feature Overview

Datadog Software Composition Analysis (SCA) continuously monitors for vulnerable open source libraries in production. With real-time observability context, DevOps and Security teams can easily identify and prioritize the remediation of the highest-impact vulnerabilities before they become costly breaches and apply recommended fixes to resolve issues quickly.

Identify open source security risk in your applications

Surface vulnerable open source libraries in production as you monitor the overall health of your services
Ensure remediated vulnerabilities make it to production and avoid discrepancies between static and runtime code due to errors in the CI/CD pipeline
Proactively mitigate security risk with visibility into open source vulnerabilities within your CI pipelines (beta)

Prioritize vulnerabilities with active risk

Prioritize open source library vulnerabilities with Datadog’s Severity Score, which factors in environment, CVSS, and real-time threat activity
Pivot between vulnerable services and affected cloud workloads and infrastructure hosts to assess business impact
Track real-time risk with continuous monitoring of vulnerability exposure

Screen capture of library that presents active risk, the severity, and related data

Fast-track resolution with guided remediation

Search, filter, and query across all detected vulnerabilities with Datadog unified tagging for faster investigation
Reduce mean-time-to-remediate with actionable remediation guidance
Select the best library update for your code with recommended upgrade options

Integrate application security into existing workflows

Seamlessly integrate vulnerability management within existing workstreams with JIRA and CI integrations
Drive alignment across development, operations, and security teams with a single source of truth to reduce security risk faster
