Code Insights: Detecting Vulnerabilities and Reducing Their Impact

Who is BlueOptima?

We provide a SaaS technology that objectively measures software development efficiency. Our core metrics for productivity and code maintainability allow executives to make data-driven decisions related to talent optimization, vendor management, location strategy, and more.

The Product

BlueOptima’s Code Insights is an automated tool designed to scan your software estate for code changes. In the process, vulnerabilities are identified by comparing your source code to the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and other vulnerability reporting authorities. With instant alerts via email or through the platform, Code Insights flags vulnerabilities and assigns a severity level. At the same time, this multifaceted tool provides a ‘How-to-fix’ engine with recommendations on version upgrades, in order to mitigate the existing and potential vulnerabilities.

Applying Code Insights

Visibility

Code Insights gives Senior Team Leads visibility of the vulnerabilities introduced into their software estates, including the state of each application, and how many vulnerabilities they have. Teams are able to identify dependencies, assess the severity of risks and provide informed solutions to mitigate exposure.

Mapping

Mapping open source and third party dependencies, Code Insights helps clients to identify the associated liabilities. Assessing the risk of identified vulnerabilities aids developers in understanding the estate’s possible exposure to cybersecurity threats.

Standardisation

Providing transparency, Code Insights allows teams to identify opportunities to standardise and maximise the reuse of components across different teams and projects. In turn, this avoids using similar-functioning code with different dependencies, thus reducing duplicated efforts of security maintenance.
