Final Thesis: Evaluation and Improvement of C based dependency ecosystems in SCA Tool
Abstract: Open Source Software (OSS) is widely adopted, but introduces security and license compliance risks that must be managed. Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools address these challenges by identifying dependencies, generating Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), and detecting vulnerabilities. Although SCA Tool already supported ecosystems such as npm, it lacked support for C-based (e.g., C, […]Abstract: Open Source Software (OSS) is widely adopted, but introduces security and license compliance risks that must be managed.

Final Thesis: Enhancing the Security of SCA Tool through the Implementation of Technical and Organisational Safeguards
Abstract: This work focuses on holistically increasing security in the Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tool through the practical implementation of technical and organizational measures. Building on a previous security audit, weaknesses in organizational processes and technical components are addressed, further risks are investigated, and countermeasures are designed. The security mechanisms were developed on the basis […]Abstract: This work focuses on holistically increasing security in the Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tool through the practical implementation of technical and organizational measures.

Final Thesis: SCA Tool Security Audit
Abstract: A security audit of SCA Tool Application, its IT infrastructure’s configuration, and the ISM within the organization SCA Tool was conducted. The objective was to establish a foundation for an ISMS and provide actionable recommendations for specific vulnerabilities. During the vulnerability assessment, penetration testing tools were utilized, source code analyses were performed, and organizational […]Abstract: A security audit of SCA Tool Application, its IT infrastructure’s configuration, and the ISM within the organization SCA Tool was conducted.
