Dependency-Track fulfills much of the guidance laid out by OWASP and SAFECode.

  • Tracks application, library, framework, operating system, and hardware components
  • Tracks component usage among all projects in the enterprise
  • Adapts to changes in component dependencies used among the various projects
  • Tracks various metadata for each component including:
    • Group / Vendor
    • Component Name
    • Component Version
    • Description
    • Copyright
    • License
    • File Hashes
    • Ecosystem
    • more...
  • Continuously analyzes components for known, publicly disclosed vulnerabilities
  • Reports component vulnerability metrics to higher-level projects that have dependencies on them
  • Reports vulnerability metrics for all projects in an organizations portfolio
  • Provides vulnerability metrics over a customizable period of time for individual components, projects, or an organizations entire portfolio
  • Identifies out-of-date components where the version used is not the latest available
