Manage open source risk with SCA tools that build confidence across your software supply chain.

Black Duck software composition analysis (SCA) tools secure your software supply chain by giving you visibility into your software and the information you need to fix issues fast.

Complete visibility

Assess all dependencies found in source code, containers, and binaries.

Faster remediation

Get research-backed information on issues, licenses, and component health.

Automated governance

Use prebuilt and customized policies to integrate and automate open source governance.

Securing your software supply chain

Research shows that over 97% of the code in most codebases comes from open source. With Black Duck® SCA, you can automatically track and manage the components used in your applications.

More insight, less risk

Uncover dependencies in your software, including AI-generated code, with fast dependency analysis, source and binary code scanning, and open source snippet detection.

Uniform open source policies across the SDLC

Implement policies across your teams and apps to stop high-risk components and vulnerabilities from reaching production.

Insight into critical threats

Pinpoint high-priority issues and drill down for detailed, actionable insights to help you assess and resolve risks with confidence.
