This technology enables FortiDevSec to assess with a high confidence level if the application code base is vulnerable to a specific vulnerability by identifying open-source software dependencies.


The SCA scanner is enabled by default. Once the scan is performed on an application, the result appears under the Software Composition Analysis tab.

A step-by-step guide on how to scan an application is available in the user guide.
