5 sneaky things that quietly wreck software projects:

1️⃣ Confusing licenses
2️⃣ Forgotten code bits
3️⃣ Outdated tools
4️⃣ Hidden forks
5️⃣ No clear rules

The bright side? SCA Tool catches them all before they cause real damage. Learn more at scatool.com

License Clearance: Because “Oops” Isn’t a Legal Defense. Before you hit deploy and celebrate, make sure your software’s licenses are clean. Skipping license clearance is like driving without checking the brakes. Double check what you’ve used, stay out of legal trouble. scatool.com
A modern digital illustration of software dependency scanning and license clearance, showing a computer screen with interconnected code nodes being examined by a magnifying glass. The magnified area highlights a checkmark symbol representing verified or approved licenses or license clearance. The design uses a clean tech aesthetic with teal and yellow accents, conveying software compliance, validation, and open-source governance concepts

$4.45M = avg cost of a data breach 💸. Still think SBOMs are too expensive?

#SBOM #infosec
Futuristic digital illustration of a balance scale comparing the cost of a data breach versus cybersecurity investment. On the left, a broken padlock with a glowing $4.45M price tag represents breach recovery costs. On the right, glowing icons of a shield, documents, database, and magnifying glass symbolize SBOMs, compliance, and proactive monitoring. Background features circuit board patterns, highlighting software supply chain security and cost savings.

85% of vulns are indirect. Your riskiest code is the code you didn’t choose. #infosec #SBOM
Infographic showing that 85% of open source vulnerabilities are hidden in indirect dependencies, with a pie chart and connected package icons in green, yellow, and purple. Text highlights that projects average 700+ packages, making manual tracking impossible, emphasizing the need for automated software supply chain security.

SBOM = the ingredient list for your software. Without one, you’re serving ‘mystery stew’ to your users. With one, you can trace vulnerabilities, licenses, and suppliers with clarity.

Open source licenses aren’t suggestions—they’re contracts. Skip compliance and you risk lawsuits, rework, and lost trust. Build license checks into your DevOps early: automate attribution, block incompatible code, and protect your IP. Compliance = trust

97% of apps use open source. But who’s actually accountable for it? Governance = knowing what’s inside, who owns it, and how it’s managed. No governance = no trust.

Developers: 5 open source security pitfalls you must avoid ⬇️

⚠️ Old, unpatched dependencies
⚠️ Blind trust in repos
⚠️ Ignoring indirect dependencies
⚠️ No SBOM
⚠️ No scanning in CI/CD

Know your code. Scan continuously. Act fast.

Transparency is no longer optional in the software supply chain.
SBOM = visibility
SPDX = structure
SCA tools = speed + accuracy

"Just npm install it" = Russian roulette for your release.

✅ Healthy code
🤔 Licence landmine?
🚫 Mystery repo?

Reality check for OSS teams:

Unpinned dependencies blindfold the driver.
One semver bump bricks prod.
Copy-paste code without upstreaming traps the next coder.
Printing a PDF SBOM at release is like inflating the airbag after the crash.
