Bytesafe vs. FOSSA vs. Phylum vs. Python Comparison Chart

Increase your open source security posture with automated best practices, with a unified workflow for security and developer teams. The cloud-native security platform reduces risk and protects revenue, without slowing down developers. The dependency firewall quarantines malicious open source before reaching developers and infrastructure, protecting data, assets, and company reputation. Our policy engine evaluates threat signals such as known vulnerabilities, license information, and customer-defined rules. Having insight into what open-source components are used in applications is crucial to avoid exploitable vulnerabilities. Software Composition Analysis (SCA) and dashboard reporting give stakeholders a holistic overview with immediate insights into the current situation. Discover when new open-source licenses are introduced in the codebase. Automatically track license compliance issues and restrict problematic or unlicensed packages.

Phylum defends applications at the perimeter of the open-source ecosystem and the tools used to build software. Its automated analysis engine scans third-party code as soon as it’s published into the open-source ecosystem to vet software packages, identify risks, inform users and block attacks. Think of Phylum like a firewall for open-source code. Phylum’s database of open-source software supply chain risks is the most comprehensive and scalable offering available, and can be deployed throughout the development lifecycle depending on an organization’s infrastructure and appsec program maturity: in front of artifact repository managers, directly with package managers or in CI/CD pipelines. The Phylum policy library allows users to toggle on the blocking of critical vulnerabilities, attacks like typosquats, obfuscated code and dependency confusion, copyleft licenses, and more. Users can also leverage OPA to create custom policies.
