This offering is built upon Lineaje’s advanced capabilities to meticulously analyse software components, expose each component’s known and hidden dependencies, and assess the vulnerabilities and risks within each component.

Nikos Anerousis, Vice President, Engineering Edge, Wipro, said, “Supply chain attacks often target services from third-party vendors and open-source software inside a company’s technology stack. Bringing together Lineaje’s AI-driven capabilities and Wipro’s deep understanding of the risk and compliance landscape, we reaffirm our commitment to secure the modern enterprise and the lifecycle of modern software development.”
