About
Coana is a Denmark-based application security company that specializes in Software Composition Analysis (SCA) and open-source vulnerability management. Founded in 2022 as a spin-out from Aarhus University by static analysis researchers and entrepreneurs, the company developed a code-aware SCA platform. By utilizing advanced static reachability analysis, Coana's technology determines whether a detected vulnerability in an open-source dependency is actually reachable and exploitable within the application's codebase. This approach allows software development and security teams to filter out up to 95% of false positives, enabling them to focus remediation efforts on critical, reachable vulnerabilities. In April 2025, Coana was acquired by Socket, a developer-first software supply chain security provider, and now operates as a subsidiary, integrating its reachability analysis engine into Socket's broader application security platform.
