WhiteSource Remediate is part of WhiteSource for Developers and integrated with WhiteSource for GitHub.com, WhiteSource for GitHub Enterprise, WhiteSource for Bitbucket Server, and WhiteSource for GitLab. In addition, Remediate is integrated with WhiteSource Renovate (see below for details). Renovate enables you to save time and reduce risk by automating dependency updates in software projects.

1. From the WhiteSource web application, click the Integrate tab.
