Black Duck by Synopsys provides a comprehensive software composition analysis (SCA) solution for managing risk that comes from the use of open source and third-party code in applications and containers. Black Duck gives you unmatched visibility into third-party code, enabling you to control it across your software supply chain and throughout the application life cycle.
What’s hiding in your applications?
Third-party code saves time and money, but it can also harbor dangers like these:
- Security vulnerabilities (e.g., CVEs identified in the National Vulnerability Database)
- Common software weaknesses (e.g., SANS Top 25 or OWASP Top 10)
- Risks related to license violations and IP ownership
See what we observed in the latest Open source security and risk analysis report.
Black Duck helps you navigate OSS with ease
Black Duck software composition analysis combines versatile open source risk management and deep binary inspection in a best-in-class solution. Black Duck gives development, operations, procurement, and security teams the tools they need to minimize the security, compliance, and code quality risks of open source and other third-party software, while still realizing the benefits that come with it.

Smooth sailing with source code analysis
With Black Duck, you can identify and track open source components within your applications’ source code and monitor for new and existing vulnerabilities that put them at risk.
We selected Black Duck for three reasons: for reputation, ease of use, and confidence in the results."
