Problem
Traditional Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools often overwhelm developers with vulnerability alerts, the majority of which are false positives because they identify vulnerabilities in code that is never actually executed. This noise distracts developers from addressing real threats and wastes valuable time and resources on irrelevant issues.
Solution
Coana offers a Software Composition Analysis (SCA) solution that incorporates reachability analysis to significantly reduce false positive security vulnerabilities in open source dependencies. By identifying which vulnerabilities are actually reachable and exploitable within a codebase, Coana allows developers to focus their remediation efforts on the vulnerabilities that pose a genuine risk. Coana's technology analyzes both direct and indirect dependencies, pinpointing the exact locations in the code affected by reachable vulnerabilities. This approach enables security teams to prioritize and address critical issues effectively, leading to faster remediation times and more secure applications.
Target Audience
Coana is designed for application security teams and developers who want to reduce the noise from traditional SCA tools and focus on remediating exploitable vulnerabilities in their open source dependencies.
