What Is Software Composition Analysis (SCA)? How SCA Scans Open Source Code

Open-source code has become the foundation of modern cloud-native applications. While efficient and cost-effective, they often contain common vulnerabilities and exposures that can leave your applications at risk.

In Part 1 of this episode of What’s That? with Prisma Cloud, Tohar Zand, Product Manager at Palo Alto Networks, explores how Software Composition Analysis, or SCA, works to scan for open source vulnerabilities, and breaks down why finding these security weaknesses is harder than it seems.

Stay tuned as we continue to dive into more cloud security and technology breakdowns in our other What’s That? videos!
