In today’s increasingly complex and fast-paced software development environments, remediating security issues can sometimes get lost in the shuffle. Vulnerabilities can take too long to fix — or go unaddressed entirely — because teams don’t have the visibility and context they need, or they struggle to connect the dots between code in development, production, and infrastructure.

To address this critical gap, we’re proud to announce a new integration between FOSSA and New Relic, delivering end-to-end visibility and actionable insights for developers, and making it easier than ever to manage complete software supply chain security, while maintaining release velocity.

This product integration empowers customers of New Relic and FOSSA with three upgraded experiences.

1. Consolidated Visibility and Inventory

Developers now have a unified view of their software security posture that combines build-time, run-time, and infrastructure scanning.

Visibility into vulnerabilities from New Relic and FOSSA
  • Build-Time Scanning: Validate the source of artifacts during the build process, ensuring that open source dependencies and other components are secure from the outset.
  • Run-Time Scanning: Validate production artifacts with real-time monitoring, allowing you to catch issues as your software operates in production.
  • Infrastructure Scanning: Ensure your operating system artifacts and infrastructure configurations meet security standards, giving you a complete inventory of your environment.

By merging insights from these three environments, security and engineering teams can detect vulnerabilities earlier and respond more effectively to potential threats.

2. Prioritization and Actionable Insights

The integration between FOSSA and New Relic also empowers teams to prioritize and remediate issues with precision and speed.

FOSSA and New Relic vulnerability prioritization insights
  • Code-to-Cloud Prioritization: Easily distinguish and prioritize production vulnerabilities that present the most significant risk, ensuring the most critical issues are addressed first.
  • Meet Security SLAs with Ease: Automated monitoring and alerts ensure your teams stay on top of their security obligations.
  • Faster Remediation: Pinpoint the exact code locations that require attention, minimizing time spent investigating and enabling developers to resolve issues quickly and efficiently.

This focus on actionable data means security teams can exceed their security requirements without slowing down development.

3. Operational Reporting and Compliance

Beyond identifying and addressing vulnerabilities, the FOSSA and New Relic integration also supports comprehensive reporting to satisfy both customer and regulatory demands.

Reporting dashboard within FOSSA
  • Dynamic SBOM Generation: Automatically create and maintain up-to-date software bills of materials (SBOMs) to provide transparency and satisfy customer requirements.
  • Third-Party Risk Management: Import and manage SBOMs for external dependencies, continuously monitoring third-party components for potential risks.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Effortlessly distribute SBOMs to meet industry regulations, helping your organization remain compliant and avoid costly delays and penalties.

These capabilities provide an essential layer of operational intelligence, ensuring your organization is always prepared to demonstrate a secure posture.

A New Era of Developer-Centric Security

The FOSSA and New Relic integration is an important step in our work to equip customers with developer-friendly security that doesn’t compromise speed or innovation. By seamlessly tying together build-time and run-time insights, our integration offers a holistic, efficient approach to vulnerability management, one that empowers developers to both move fast and stay secure.
