Black Duck solutions help you develop intelligent, secure, quality products throughout the software development lifecycle

Software Composition Analysis (SCA)

Black Duck Polaris™ fAST SCA (SaaS) and Black Duck® SCA (on premises) detect and manage open source and third-party component risks and produce the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) required for software supply chain initiatives and regulatory requirements. Black Duck uniquely identifies open source in container images and binaries, and it can identify code snippets and licensing issues introduced by AI code-generation tools

Black Duck Binary Analysis

Black Duck® Binary Analysis gives you visibility into open source and third-party dependencies that have been compiled into executables, libraries, containers, and firmware. You can analyze individual files using an intuitive user interface or Black Duck multifactor open source detection, which automates the scanning of binary artifacts. Using a combination of static and string analysis techniques coupled with fuzzy matching against the Black Duck® KnowledgeBase, Black Duck Binary Analysis quickly and reliably identifies components, even if they’ve been modified.

Static Application Security Testing (SAST)

 Polaris fAST Static provides a SaaS solution that is readily integrated into development workflows. Coverity® Static Analysis provides on-premises support that extends coverage to critical quality defects and regulatory and compliance testing. Both solutions detect security weaknesses in your proprietary code and infrastructure-as-code files early in the software development life cycle, when they’re least expensive to remediate.

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)

Polaris fAST Dynamic is a SaaS-based, innovative solution providing preproduction dynamic analysis for modern development environments and languages. Black Duck® Continuous Dynamic safely and efficiently performs continuous dynamic analysis on production applications, testing software in the same state as attackers.

Seeker® Interactive Analysis (IAST)

Do you want to perform security tests of your applications interactively? The Seeker® Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) solution provides unparalleled visibility into your web application security posture and identifies vulnerability trends against compliance standards (for example, OWASP Top 10, PCI DSS, GDPR, CAPEC, and CWE/SANS Top 25). Seeker enables security teams to identify and track sensitive data, ensuring that it is handled securely and not stored in log files or databases with weak or no encryption.

Unlike other IAST solutions that only identify vulnerabilities, Synopsys Seeker can also determine whether a vulnerability (for example, XSS or SQL injection) can be exploited, providing developers with a risk-prioritized list of verified vulnerabilities in their code to immediately fix. Seeker quickly processes hundreds of thousands of HTTP(S) requests using patented methods, identifying vulnerabilities and reducing false positives to near zero. This allows security teams to focus on actual confirmed vulnerabilities first, greatly increasing productivity and reducing business risk. It’s like having a team of automated penetration testers evaluating your web applications 24/7.

Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) - Software Risk Manager (SRM)

Software Risk Manager™ creates a single source of truth for AST by providing a unified repository for the findings of over 150+ testing solutions, delivering a centralized view of software risk for your agency—what was tested, what was found, and what was fixed. Software Risk Manager gives developers prioritized guidance on what to fix first, helping them make sense of the growing volume of findings.

Providing policy-based test management, correlating and prioritizing findings from various tools, SRM is integrated with over 135 third-party software security testing tools. SRM also has the option of using Black Duck SCA and Coverity SAST solutions integrated within SRM. Findings from tools that are not readily available integrated can be included in SRM in .XML format.

Black Duck is a Recognized Leader in Software Security

Black Duck (formerly Synopsys) has been named a ‘leader’ by the Gartner® Magic Quadrant for Application Testing for 7 consecutive years , including 2023 . Synopsys is also a Leader in the 2023 Forrester Wave™ in SAST and SCA.
