(July 15, 2024, Singapore) Scantist, a leading provider of AI-powered software security solutions, announced today that its flagship product Scantist SCA has been included in the Open Web Application Security Project's (OWASP) recognized list of tools for software component analysis (SCA).
The inclusion validates Scantist SCA's capabilities in identifying and managing potential security risks associated with third-party and open-source software components. This recognition comes at a time when organizations are increasingly relying on external software components, making robust SCA tools critical for maintaining cybersecurity.
"We are honored to be recognized by OWASP, a respected authority in web application security," said Ding Sun, Co-founder and CTO for Scantist. "This acknowledgment underscores our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions that help organizations mitigate risks in their software supply chain."
Scantist SCA offers a comprehensive suite of features designed to address common risk factors in component analysis, including component inventory management, identification of outdated components, and detection of known vulnerabilities. The tool also aids in license compliance and project health evaluation, aligning with OWASP's recommended practices for effective component analysis.
As a freemium, cross-platform solution available as Software as a Service (SaaS), Scantist SCA is positioned to serve a wide range of organizations, from small development teams to large enterprises.
This recognition by OWASP is expected to bolster Scantist's position in the competitive SCA market, which has seen growing demand as software supply chain attacks have become more prevalent.
