We have a storied past, but we’re driven by the future

Our pedigree: We helped the world embrace open source software safely and securely. We unified disparate technologies to build the first comprehensive application security platform. We defied the assumption that a vendor couldn’t test both embedded software and web apps. We bridged the gap between testing in the cloud and on-prem. And we grew into the largest, most trusted application security testing (AST) provider in the world, recognized as the eight-time Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for AST.

The future we’re building: Black Duck is now defining the next frontier of application security. With the avalanche of AI-generated code plus expanding regulatory pressure, you need solutions that can scale, adapt, and keep pace with the demands of your business.

Black Duck meets the demands of modern software development with True Scale Application Security. In the cloud or on-prem, 100,000 lines of code or 100 million.
