Enterprise-Scale Static Analysis for Security, Safety, and Quality Compliance.
The industry standard for software composition analysis and open-source supply chain security.
Black Duck (now an independent entity following its divestiture from Synopsys in late 2024/2025) remains the premier Software Composition Analysis (SCA) platform for the 2026 enterprise landscape. Its technical architecture is built around the Black Duck KnowledgeBase™, a massive repository of open-source metadata covering over 5 million projects and 20 years of history. In 2026, Black Duck has evolved beyond simple signature matching to incorporate AI-driven snippet analysis and behavioral detection for malicious packages. It serves as a critical component in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) by automating the identification, prioritization, and remediation of open-source vulnerabilities and license compliance risks. The platform is specifically engineered to handle the complexity of modern supply chains, providing automated Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation that adheres to global regulatory standards like Executive Order 14028. Its ability to perform multifactor scanning—ranging from binary analysis to package manager inspection—ensures that shadow open source is identified even when traditional package manifests are missing. This positioning makes it the go-to solution for high-stakes environments such as M&A due diligence, financial services, and critical infrastructure.
Combines package manager inspection, signature scanning, and snippet matching to find code even without dependency manifests.
Enterprise-Scale Static Analysis for Security, Safety, and Quality Compliance.
The global tech bootcamp for future-proof career transformation in AI, Coding, and Design.
Graph-based threat modeling and attack surface visualization directly within the DevSecOps lifecycle.
Immutable video provenance through blockchain-anchored hash-on-capture technology.
Verified feedback from the global deployment network.
Post queries, share implementation strategies, and help other users.
A proprietary database updated daily with data from over 5 million open source projects.
Analyzes compiled binaries to identify open-source components without requiring access to source code.
Automated logic to trigger build failures or notifications based on license, vulnerability severity, or component age.
A unified intelligent agent that automatically chooses the best scanning method for the environment.
Freezes a software bill of materials and continues to monitor it for new vulnerabilities (NVD) even after the build is finished.
Uses behavioral analysis to flag packages that exhibit suspicious activities like data exfiltration or credential harvesting.
Meeting Executive Order 14028 requirements for transparent software inventory.
