The Active tools (Customer's environment) provides detailed information about individual tools, including deployments, areas of non-use, and functionality detected in your SDLC. This data allows you to assess tool usage, coverage, and potential security risks.

Use cases
  • Tool visibility: Gain visibility into all tools used across CI/CD pipelines and VCSs

  • Third-Party tools: Discover and monitor all external tools (webhooks, executables, apps, plugins) integrated into your CI/CD pipelines and VCSs

  • Detailed Tool insights: Access detailed information on each tool (creator, risk factors such as deprecation or low usage, usage evidence, first seen date, category) to evaluate approval status and assess risk

  • Rejected Tool Monitoring: Manage tool approval status by approving or rejecting tools found in pipelines/VCSs, identifying non-compliant usage

  • Usage: View tool usage indicators by category across pipelines/VCSs for management reporting internal as well as external usage
