Black Duck Rapid Scan enables developers to check for security or policy violations without disrupting development process. When the first software composition analysis (SCA) tools made their entrance into the market, their focus was on license compliance. As open source grew in popularity, SCA tools expanded to include vulnerability management, helping to reduce the attack surface for organizations leveraging open source.

Creating a secure software development life cycle can lower risk, but security must be embedded into every step to ensure more secure applications. On May 6, 1937, the Hindenburg airship burst into flames while docking, causing 35 deaths and bringing the airship era to a sudden close. In hindsight, it seems tragically obvious. Fill a giant bag with highly flammable hydrogen gas and trouble is bound to follow.

Open source software audits can identify undetected issues in your codebase. Learn how our audit services can help you understand the risks during an M&A. Most of our clients understand that an open source software audit differs from an automated scan. An audit involves expert consultants analyzing a proprietary codebase using a combination of Black Duck® commercial tools and tools we’ve developed and use internally.

Security investments require executive buy-in. Learn what key development motivators can help justify your security program updates. As development speeds increase exponentially, organizations often struggle to introduce or maintain security practices capable of keeping pace. Additionally, security teams can find it difficult to get the top-down buy-in and support they need for a security overhaul.

Eight vulnerabilities were discovered in Zephyr’s Bluetooth LE Stack using Defensics Bluetooth LE fuzzing solution.

The vast majority of today’s applications are made up of open source components. The 2021 “Open Source Security and Risk Analysis” (OSSRA) report, conducted by the Synopsys Cybersecurity Research Center (CyRC), found that 75% of the 1,500+ codebases analyzed were composed of open source. Understanding what’s in your codebase is essential, and for M&A transactions it’s one of the key drivers for performing software due diligence.

DevSecOps is a team effort. Learn how to build security into DevOps to deliver secure, high-quality software faster using SAST and SCA software solutions. Modern software development is more of everything: more code, in more languages, on more platforms, with more deployment options. DevOps demands automation to maximize velocity and continuous improvement throughout process feedback. All this more also means more security risk.

Ransomware prevention measures such as securing your applications can help you avoid becoming the next target. Ransomware isn’t a new problem—not even close. It’s been around for more than 30 years. But like every element of technology, it has evolved. Instead of being an occasional expensive nuisance, it’s now a plague with existential implications for critical infrastructure—energy, transportation, food supply, water and sewer services, healthcare, and more.
