Find out how Scantist's end-to-end software supply chain management solution helped Desay SV tackle complex codebase challenges, achieve regulatory compliance, and reduce security management costs while enhancing cybersecurity posture.
Background
Desay SV is a leading automotive solution provider, specializing in developing advanced software and hardware systems for the global automotive industry. With a mission to deliver safe, reliable, and innovative mobility solutions, Desay SV’s products power critical functions in modern vehicles, from infotainment to autonomous driving systems. As automotive software becomes increasingly complex, ensuring its security and compliance with global regulations is paramount to protecting end-users and maintaining market trust.
Challenges
Desay SV faced significant hurdles in managing the security of its software ecosystem:
- A massive 3TB codebase and over 1,000 third-party libraries created a sprawling attack surface, making it difficult to identify high-risk vulnerabilities.
- Strict regulatory requirements, including the EU Cyber Resilience Act, demanded rigorous security validation and documentation, adding layers of complexity to security management.
- Legacy tools struggled to accurately distinguish critical vulnerabilities from false positives, leading to inefficiencies in remediation efforts and increased operational costs.
Solution
Desay SV partnered with Scantist to deploy a comprehensive, AI-powered software supply chain security solution:
- An end-to-end software supply chain management workflow platform that centralized the identification, collection, and analysis of all code artifacts (user code, binaries, and third-party components).
- GenAI-powered features for security debt orchestration and audit, enabling automated prioritization of vulnerabilities based on exploitability and business impact.
- Seamless integration with Desay SV’s existing OSSM platform to ensure compatibility with existing workflows and audit result consistency.
The Facts
Scantist’s solution delivered tangible, measurable outcomes:
- 30 projects and 3TB of data analyzed across the entire codebase.
- 107 false positives (21% of total) eliminated, reducing noise and focusing teams on real risks.
- 1,237 previously missed vulnerabilities (245% improvement) identified and remediated.
- 90% reduction in manpower costs associated with manual security reviews and audits.
Implementation Results
By leveraging Scantist’s solution, Desay SV transformed its approach to software security:
- Achieved full compliance with the EU Cyber Resilience Act and other global automotive regulations, avoiding potential penalties and market access barriers.
- Gained clear visibility into its software supply chain, enabling proactive identification of vulnerabilities before they could be exploited.
- Streamlined collaboration between development and security teams, reducing friction in the software delivery lifecycle while maintaining rigorous security standards.
