Socket Acquires Coana to Bring Best-in-Class Reachability An...

Socket has acquired Coana, a leading reachability analysis engine developed by researchers from Aarhus University, to enhance its software supply chain security platform. This acquisition strengthens Socket's position in next-gen Software Composition Analysis (SCA) by incorporating Coana's advanced static control-flow and call graph analysis, which allows security teams to focus on exploitable vulnerabilities, addressing the issue of "alert fatigue" often caused by traditional vulnerability scanners. Coana's technology has demonstrated the ability to eliminate up to 80% of false positives, enabling security teams to achieve up to 10 times faster remediation of critical vulnerabilities. The acquisition has led to significant growth for Socket, with revenue tripling over the past year and a notable adoption by prominent organizations such as Anthropic, xAI, Figma, and Vercel. Socket now protects over 8,500 organizations and 750,000 repositories, identifying more than 500 supply chain attacks weekly, and has flagged over 100,000 malicious packages, thereby solidifying its reputation as a leading developer-first security platform.
