WhiteSource announces the extension of its open source security tool
WhiteSource extended its patent technology to Python, JavaScript, and C# to cut open-source security alerts by up to 85%.

“Customers who have already upgraded to WhiteSource Prioritize report that their developers no longer need to spend as much time dealing with all of the security alerts in their systems; instead, they now move confidently and swiftly through a validated remediation process and save precious development hours,” said David Habusha, WhiteSource’s VP of products.
