Screenshot of a presentation of license-related risks in software that helps to remain compliant. Workbench detects over 2000 different licenses encountered overed years of open source auditing from strong/weak copyleft to the most obscure source-available and non-commercial licenses. Workbench helps users to understand all license related risks that could affect your products and services.

Screenshot of VulnSnippet Finder: Snippet detection for vulnerable open source snippets. FossID’s Knowledge Base snippet detection capabilities include special detection of vulnerable open source snippets. While most security scanners assume open source vulnerabilities based on component and version, VulnSnippet Finder bases its search on the exact lines of code/snippets that make software vulnerable.
