Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Your projects may hide dangerous vulnerabilities in their dependencies. Every moment without proper scanning puts your systems at risk, so you must act now. 

This course is your complete guide to using Google’s OSV-Scanner to secure your code. OSV-Scanner, launched by Google in December 2022, taps into the powerful OSV database to scan for known vulnerabilities in your open-source dependencies. You will learn how OSV-Scanner scans across 16 ecosystems, covering major languages and key platforms such as Android, Linux Kernel, Debian, Alpine, and OSS-Fuzz environments. The course walks you through vulnerability scanning basics, a deep dive into the OSV Database and Schema, and hands-on training for installing, configuring, running directory scans, analyzing lockfiles and SBOMs, and even scanning Docker images. You’ll also see how to interpret results, troubleshoot issues, and integrate scanning into your CI/CD pipeline for continuous security.  

By the end of this course, you will have the practical skills to perform vulnerability scanning using Google’s OSV-Scanner to protect your projects, reduce risks, and make your workflow more efficient.
