An open source software (OSS) scan is a solution that discovers any risks that reside in an organization’s use of open source software in enterprise applications as well as software products shipping outside the organization. This includes any dependencies associated with that OSS. These risks typically come in the form of security vulnerabilities or open source license compliance issues. It is important to leverage an OSS scan in order to address any vulnerabilities that reside in an organization’s code and to ensure that the organization is complying with any license agreements that come with the open source software being used.
