FAQ
What application security and open source risk management solutions does Black Duck offer?
Black Duck is the leader in application security testing, offering True Scale Application Security that empowers organizations to build trust in their software. We provide a comprehensive suite of automated application security solutions, including agentic AI AppSec, static application security testing (SAST), dynamic application security testing (DAST), interactive application security testing (IAST), and software composition analysis (SCA), to identify, manage, and remediate security vulnerabilities, license compliance risks, and code quality issues across the entire software development life cycle.
How do Black Duck SCA tools protect and monitor software supply chain security and open source components?
Black Duck offers comprehensive software composition analysis (SCA) tools that provide complete visibility into every open source and third-party component in your applications. Our advanced detection methods can also generate and manage accurate Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs), meticulously tracking components and their versions, licenses, and security status to ensure transparency and compliance with supply chain regulations. Black Duck continuously monitors these components against vulnerability databases, including our proprietary KnowledgeBase ™, and automatically alerts your teams to new threats without requiring new scans. By integrating directly into CI/CD pipelines, Black Duck solutions prevent vulnerable or noncompliant code from advancing, ensuring ongoing supply chain security and enabling rapid response to emerging threats and attacks.
What SAST, DAST, SCA, and AI AppSec testing tools does Black Duck offer?
Black Duck provides a comprehensive and complementary portfolio of application security testing (AST) solutions designed to secure both proprietary code and third-party components, including AI-generated code, across the entire software development life cycle. Our offerings include:
