This eBook focuses on the importance of comprehensive software audits during mergers and acquisitions, where hidden risks in codebases can significantly impact deal value. It explains how modern applications rely heavily on open source and third-party components, introducing potential security vulnerabilities, license conflicts, and outdated dependencies. The guide emphasizes creating a complete software bill of materials (SBOM) to gain visibility into all components and assess risk accurately. It also covers evaluating proprietary code quality, performing penetration testing, and identifying integration challenges. By conducting thorough audits, organizations can mitigate risks, avoid costly surprises, and ensure smoother post-acquisition integration and long-term software reliability.
