A security team is creating a systematic method for referencing software libraries to track vulnerabilities and updates. Which approach is the BEST choice for ensuring consistent organization that integrates with scanning tools and version tracking?
Rely on automated scanning tools without maintaining any additional reference system
Track reference changes in a single file without version information to reduce confusion
Adopt a tagging scheme that includes version details and consistent reference data
Divide references for libraries based on department and keep them in separate files
Adopting a tagging scheme with explicit version and reference details ensures that libraries are consistently tracked, updates are identified, and vulnerabilities are recognized. This unified system integrates with scanning tools and prevents confusion that arises from multiple or incomplete references. Approaches that divide references by department, maintain a single file without version information, or rely solely on automated scanning can lead to overlooked details and disputable recordkeeping.
