Modern software development teams use fast-paced DevOps work processes. However, the complexity of modern software applications often gets in the way. A typical enterprise software project has thousands of components, many of them third-party and open source components that are outside the control of development teams.
Developers have very low visibility into the libraries and dependencies included in third-party components. Even for proprietary components developed inside the organization, it is often unclear which are the hardware and software dependencies of each software element.
