Every business is a software business, whether you’re selling it directly to your customers or relying on it to run your operations. Black Duck helps you protect your bottom line by building trust in your software—at the speed your business demands.
Secure your software supply chain
Building applications that users can trust requires securing everything that goes into it. Comply with supply chain requirements through comprehensive Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) management and eliminate risks throughout the application development life cycle.
Build security into DevOps
Software development is more fast-paced and automated than ever before. To keep up and adapt to the rapidly changing needs of your business, you need to build security into DevOps. Black Duck solutions for DevSecOps help you shift security left without slowing down your development.
Manage AppSec risk at enterprise scale
The software your development teams are building is increasingly sophisticated and being delivered faster than ever. Securing it at scale requires a consistent approach to AppSec across your business, continuous testing across the software development life cycle (SDLC), and a consolidated view of risk. Black Duck enterprise application security solutions help reduce the complexity of securing your applications so you can improve your risk posture and total cost of ownership.
AppSec consolidation
Security tool proliferation has resulted in complexity that can slow down development teams, decrease overall risk posture, and drive up the operational costs to implement, maintain, and support the security tool stack. Black Duck offers a unique approach to consolidation that not only reduces your number of vendors and tools but improves the efficiency and risk posture for your entire application security program.
