7 Dependency-Track is an open-source software composition analysis (SCA) tool. It creates and manages a software bill of materials (SBOM) for projects. The tool continuously checks dependencies for known vulnerabilities. It also tracks license compliance of open-source components. Teams gain visibility and control over their software supply chain. Helps integrate security into DevOps/CI-CD pipelines efficiently.
