Black Duck software composition analysis (SCA) solutions help you secure your software supply chain, automatically identifying open source and third-party dependencies in any codebase, application, or container.

Complete visibility

Multiple scan technologies give you a complete view of open source, third-party, and custom component dependencies in source code, containers, and binaries.

Faster remediation

Independently researched vulnerability, license, and component health insights streamline component selection, as well as issue prioritization and remediation.

Automated governance

Out-of-the-box and customizable policies enable you to integrate and automate open source governance into your development workflows and tool chains.

Take control of your software supply chain

Modern applications aren’t just built, they’re assembled. Over 75% of the code comes from open source and third-party software supply chain dependencies. With Black Duck SCA software, you can automatically track and manage the components used in your applications.

Know what’s in your code

Combine fast direct and transitive dependency analysis with source and binary code scanning, and open source snippet detection to identify dependencies in any software—even AI-generated code.
Enforce open source policies

Define standard policies once and apply them uniformly across your teams and applications, so you can keep high-risk components, license types, and vulnerabilities from making it to production.
Identify, prioritize, and act on risk

Narrow your focus to the most important security, compliance, and component health risks, then drill down to get detailed and accurate insights to help you understand why a component poses a risk, the severity, and how your team can address it.
Build comprehensive SBOMs

Generate SPDX and CycloneDX Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) to satisfy industry, regulatory, and customer requirements. Integrate SBOMs from your suppliers to get a comprehensive view of your supply chain components and risks.

Software composition analysis your way

No matter what your development stack looks like, with Black Duck you can integrate SCA solutions seamlessly into your development and DevOps workflows and toolchains.
