WhiteSource provides an open source security and license compliance management platform for organizations to manage their open source assets: 

==== Detection ====
Automatically identiﬁes all the open source components and dependencies in your build by constant and automatic cross-referencing of your open source components against WhiteSource’s deﬁnitive database of open source repositories.

==== Selection ====
While you search for open source components, our browser plugin reveals any reported bugs, security risks, undesirable licenses (as deﬁned by the company policy you set up) newer versions and more for each component, so you can make better decisions about which component to add to your build.

==== Alerting ====
The earlier you detect an issue the easier and less expensive it is to ﬁx. Find out about potential pitfalls in your open source components and their dependencies before they turn into problems with optional security, policy, bug, and newer version email alerts. Each indicates level of severity, from high to low.

==== Reporting ====
Because WhiteSource continually and automatically logs a detailed inventory of your open source components, dependencies, licenses and license references, 100% accurate, up-to-date reports are always just a click away, and can be downloaded to spreadsheets in seconds.

== Funding ==
Main investors in the company include  Susquehanna Growth Equity, 83North, [[Microsoft Ventures]], David Strohm and the [[Israel Innovation Authority|Israeli Innovation Authority]]. The company has raised $46 million as of 2018.<ref name=":6" /><ref name=":8" /><ref name=":7" /><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://techcrunch.com/2018/10/17/whitesource-nabs-35m-to-track-open-source-code-for-security-vulnerabilities/|title=WhiteSource nabs $35M to track open source code for security vulnerabilities|work=TechCrunch|access-date=2018-10-17|language=en-US}}</ref>
