Collaboration Offers Organisations Advanced Insights to Identify, Evaluate, and Mitigate Open Source Risks
The Code Registry, a specialist in AI-powered code intelligence, has announced a strategic partnership with SCANOSS, a recognised leader in open source software (OSS) intelligence. This collaboration is designed to provide businesses with deeper visibility into their codebases, helping them identify potential risks related to open source licensing, security vulnerabilities, and compliance obligations.
By integrating SCANOSS’s extensive Knowledge Base (SCANOSS KB) into The Code Registry’s platform, organisations will gain unparalleled insight into their OSS components. This will enable them to detect open source dependencies, understand licensing requirements, assess potential security risks associated with outdated or insecure components, and proactively address legal and security concerns through data-driven decision-making.
“At The Code Registry, we believe that knowledge is power. By leveraging SCANOSS’s unparalleled OSS intelligence to complement our full suite of code intelligence, we’re equipping our customers with the deeper insights they need to manage their open source usage confidently and securely,” said Mark Purdy, CEO of The Code Registry. “This partnership underscores our commitment to helping businesses navigate the complex world of third-party software dependencies and risks at every level.”
Providing Executives with Clear, Actionable Intelligence
While open source software plays a crucial role in modern software development, it also introduces challenges that must be actively managed. Business leaders often struggle to gain clear, actionable insights from technical teams regarding open source risks. Through this partnership, The Code Registry and SCANOSS offer a comprehensive platform that not only identifies these risks but also provides business-friendly explanations to support informed decision-making.
“We are thrilled to partner with The Code Registry,” said Alan Facey, CEO of SCANOSS. “Our mission has always been to empower organisations with the insights needed to adopt open source safely and securely. By joining forces, we will extend our reach and help even more companies make informed decisions about their OSS strategies.”
“Today, organisations need clarity and speed when it comes to understanding their open source usage,” added Julian Coccia, CTO of SCANOSS. “This collaboration is a game-changer for businesses seeking real-time security and compliance data. We’re excited to see how our combined capabilities will shape the future of software risk management.”
Driving Better Collaboration Between Business and Technical Teams
Beyond enhancing open-source transparency, The Code Registry’s platform provides a broader perspective on code health. Using AI-driven insights and over 4,000 data points, the platform offers intelligence on development team efficiency, cost-to-replicate valuations, security vulnerabilities, and regulatory compliance risks. By fostering improved collaboration between business executives, IT teams, and key stakeholders, organisations can align their software strategies with their overall business objectives.
