Black Duck - Application Security

Black Duck is an application security solution that automates security controls in software development. It assesses source code through static testing (SAST), running applications through dynamic (DAST) and interactive (IAST) testing, and open source and third-party components through software composition analysis (SCA). It can be used on its own or integrated into existing DevSecOps processes.

Modern Security Challenges

In software projects, source code, running applications and third-party components each carry different security risks. When security controls are not built into development processes, vulnerabilities are found late and become more costly to fix. A growing number of findings also makes it harder for teams to prioritize critical risks.

Who can benefit?

  • Software teams that want to identify security vulnerabilities
  • DevSecOps teams that want to integrate security testing into CI/CD pipelines
  • Security teams that want to prioritize and track security findings
  • Organizations that want to build software security into their development processes

Core Principles

Security

Identifying software vulnerabilities and risky dependencies

Automation

Integrating security analysis into CI/CD pipelines

Prioritization

Focusing on critical security findings

Continuity

Supporting security throughout the software lifecycle

How Does Black Duck Work?

Black Duck analyzes source code, running applications and software components to help identify vulnerabilities and license risks. By combining SAST, DAST, IAST and SCA, it brings security controls into the software development lifecycle and helps teams prioritize critical findings.

Workflow

1. Software Analysis

  • Source code, running applications and software components are analyzed.
  • SAST, DAST, IAST and SCA checks are applied.
  • Security vulnerabilities and risky dependencies are identified.
  • License compliance risks are assessed.

2. Evaluating Security Findings

  • Detected vulnerabilities are reviewed centrally.
  • Findings are prioritized by severity and risk level.
  • Critical security risks are identified.
  • Findings that require remediation are assigned to the relevant teams.

3. Remediation and Process Integration

  • Developers receive guidance on how to fix security findings.
  • Security checks are integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Pipelines or releases can be blocked automatically when critical findings are detected.
  • Follow-up scans track the status of fixes.
