performing-sca-dependency-scanning-with-snyk
This skill covers implementing Software Composition Analysis (SCA) using Snyk to detect vulnerable open-source dependencies in CI/CD pipelines. It addresses scanning package manifests and lockfiles, automated fix pull request generation, license compliance checking, continuous monitoring of deployed applications, and integration with GitHub, GitLab, and Jenkins pipelines.

# Performing SCA Dependency Scanning with Snyk
## When to Use
- When applications use open-source packages that may contain known vulnerabilities
- When compliance requires tracking and remediating vulnerable dependencies (PCI DSS, SOC 2)
- When needing automated fix PRs for vulnerable dependencies in CI/CD
- When license compliance requires visibility into open-source license obligations
- When continuous monitoring is needed for newly disclosed vulnerabilities in deployed dependencies
**Do not use** for scanning proprietary application code for logic vulnerabilities (use SAST), for runtime vulnerability detection (use DAST), or for container OS package scanning alone (use Trivy for a free alternative).
