Dependency-Track
Continuous SBOM Analysis.
Overview
Dependency-Track is an open-source Component Analysis platform that allows organizations to proactively manage software supply chain risk. Instead of being a scanner itself, it ingests SBOMs (in CycloneDX or SPDX formats) from various tools. It then continuously monitors the components listed in the SBOMs for new vulnerabilities, license issues, and outdated dependencies.
✨ Key Features
- SBOM consumption and processing
- Continuous vulnerability monitoring
- License compliance analysis
- Outdated component detection
- Policy management and violation alerting
- Comprehensive API and webhook support
🎯 Key Differentiators

- Focus on continuous monitoring
- Open-source and highly extensible
- Vendor-neutral
Unique Value: Provides a free and open-source platform to centralize SBOMs and continuously monitor for risks, enabling a proactive and automated approach to software supply chain management.
