Over the past three years, WhiteSource has seen a fivefold increase in customers and 800% revenue growth, reflecting the major demand by organizations developing software to effectively manage their use of open source components, with enterprise application portfolios becoming much more vulnerable to attack . WhiteSource has been fulfilling this need in application security by providing its remediation-centric solution to more than 800 companies globally, helping organizations better protect their software applications without affecting the speed of software delivery or its performance.
Sass said, "Application security needs have gone beyond just detection to include continuous prioritization and prevention, as demonstrated by recent software supply chain attacks. This investment brings us closer to creating a future where the cycle of application delivery is always a step ahead of any security risk, and where developers are easily equipped with code they can trust."
