Modern software relies on open-source dependencies, including transitive dependencies that introduce hidden risks. These interconnected components complicate vulnerability detection and management.
OX Security’s multi-dependency graph maps direct and transitive dependencies, providing a structured view of the software supply chain, helping AppSec teams trace relationships, identify security risks, and manage dependencies efficiently.
The OX Solution
Visualize dependencies to remediate risks
The OX Security multi-dependency graph maps relationships between software components, including libraries, packages, and code files. But this capability isn’t limited to identifying which components depend on which; the OX multi-dependency graph determines the order in which components must be evaluated or processed to be functional and optimally effective.
OX’s multi-dependency graph visualizes and analyzes multiple types of dependencies including data dependencies, control dependencies, and flow dependencies. This full-solution analysis ensures AppSec teams can identify security risks quickly and accurately, and take action immediately to achieve:
Improved dependency visibility
Identifying indirect and compound dependencies can be difficult due to inconsistencies across files and repositories. OX Security correlates data from multiple sources to ensure all dependencies are accurately tracked, even when packages appear in different files or have varying paths.
Cross-file analysis
Track dependencies across files and get a unified view that pinpoints package relationships, regardless of location or source.
Improved accuracy in multi-language environments
Different programming languages handle dependency tracking differently. OX accounts for these variations, ensuring accurate tracking even when languages or listing methods fall short, eliminating blind spots and strengthening security posture.
All-inclusive path analysis
OX provides a complete map of all paths between dependencies, allowing teams to visualize how one package affects another. This comprehensive view is key to addressing issues holistically.
Key Benefits
Faster Mean Time to Remediate (MTTR)
Time is critical when addressing risks. With the ability to correlate dependencies across files and repositories, OX helps teams identify and address risks faster. By pinpointing the origin and trigger packages, AppSec and DevOps teams can now remediate issues with greater precision.
Enhanced Understanding of Vulnerabilities
The multi-dependency graph provides context around dependencies, answering crucial questions:
- Where is this dependency coming from?
- Which other components rely on it?
- How is it connected to the overall application?
This clarity allows teams to prioritize efforts and allocate resources efficiently — to focus on the 5% of risks that matter.
Accelerated Cyber Risk Identification
By highlighting compound and indirect dependencies, OX speeds up the identification process. Teams can uncover hidden vulnerabilities that would otherwise require manual effort or go unnoticed altogether.
Empowered AppSec Teams
The accuracy and depth of the multi-dependency graph give AppSec teams the confidence to act decisively. No more second-guessing or sifting through incomplete data — OX ensures every decision is backed by actionable insight.
Use Cases
- Identify hidden security risks
- Prioritize and accelerate remediation
- Improve software supply chain security
- Support cross-language and cross-file analysis
- Enhance DevOps and CI/CD efficiency
About OX
OX rewires your security program for the Mythos Age by moving your control surface upstream to the prompt. OX AI Native Application Protection Platform includes an AI context lake that connects AI-user governance, code security, cloud enforcement, and agentic pentesting across the entire ADLC. Every finding carries its full lineage from the prompt that caused it to the runtime it threatens.
We govern the AI writing your code, prove what is actually exploitable, and fix it at the source. For new deployments, that means one platform replaces point-tool sprawl. For existing stacks, OX layers governance on top and makes your tools smarter through continuous learning. Self-improving security for an age of self-improving attackers.
