## What it is
OWASP Dependency-Track is an open-source component analysis platform that ingests CycloneDX SBOMs to continuously identify vulnerabilities, license risk, and integrity issues across an organization's software portfolio. It provides a REST API, policy enforcement, EPSS-based prioritization, and audit workflows for software supply chain security.

## Use cases
- track vulnerabilities in third-party dependencies across all projects
- ingest and analyze SBOMs from CI/CD pipelines
- enforce security policy on software components and break builds on violations
- monitor software supply chain risk across an enterprise portfolio
- detect typosquatting and tampered packages via integrity verification
- audit and triage vulnerability findings with an exportable trail
- generate software bill of materials compliance reports

## When to choose
- you need continuous, portfolio-wide component vulnerability monitoring driven by SBOMs
- you want CycloneDX-native SBOM ingestion with policy enforcement and audit workflows
- you need an API-first platform that integrates with CI/CD and multiple vulnerability data sources

## When to avoid
- you only need a quick one-off scan of a single project's dependencies rather than a platform
- you cannot operate a self-hosted server or containerized deployment
- you require SCA for languages or ecosystems outside CycloneDX/SBOM-based workflows

## Facets
- artifact type: application
