Software component management

There are many software components that are consumed and generated during the development lifecycle, including libraries, repositories, shared modules, build artifacts, and third-party dependencies. These components often have distributed technical ownership and are decoupled from one another. Software component management focuses on overseeing these individual components to enhance security and governance of the software supply chain. This includes routinely updating components to maintain their security and relevance, establishing clear usage guidelines, and creating an inventory of the relationships between components. Through this capability, you can strengthen the security, reliability, and integrity of software being built.
