Nexus Intelligence Description
The truth about open source risks. Alternative tools are more likely to produce false positives or negatives than the ones that scan apps "as declared". They trust developers to reveal the truth about dependencies embedded within software. Nexus scans apps using Advanced Binary Fingerprinting (ABF). The result is a precise reading of embedded dependencies and a Software Bill of Materials that reflects truth about third-party risks. ABF identification uses cryptographic hash to identify binaries, structural similarity and derived coordinates. It can identify renamed and modified components, regardless of whether they were declared, misnamed, added manually to the code base, or misnamed. The Octopus Scanner's recent success is a great example of why scanning a manifest is not enough to detect malicious components being injected in our software supply chains.
