Application vulnerabilities are a primary target for hackers. But the complexity and pace of modern application development makes effective detection and remediation of security issues increasingly difficult. Black Duck® gives teams the tools and services they need to address security weaknesses and vulnerabilities in proprietary and third-party code, in any software, at every stage of the application life cycle.

No one AppSec tool does it all

To succeed, you need a holistic approach, integrating multiple security analysis techniques throughout the software development life cycle (SDLC). 

Software composition analysis

Open source is the foundation of most applications, often contributing over 75% of the code. You need a reliable software composition analysis solution to help you track all the open source in your software, so your applications aren't compromised by hackers targeting vulnerabilities (CVEs) in widely used components like Log4J.

Static analysis

Most developers aren't security experts. Easy-to-make coding mistakes can have major impacts if they expose security weaknesses (CWEs). You need fast and accurate static analysis to enable your developers to quickly find and fix security defects as they code.

Interactive and dynamic analysis

Some vulnerabilities are only detectable once the application is up and running. Even if you’re running static and software composition analysis, you also need interactive and dynamic analysis to test your applications, web services, protocols, and APIs for runtime vulnerabilities.
