Secure software at the speed your business demands

Software development is more fast-paced and automated than ever before. To keep up and adapt to the rapidly changing needs of your business, you need to build security into DevOps. Black Duck® solutions for DevSecOps help you shift security left without slowing down your development teams.

For developers


INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY

Secure code as quickly as you write it and avoid costly rework that could threaten project delivery deadlines. Place software risk insight, remediation guidance, and secure coding education at developers' fingertips within the IDE and other familiar tools (e.g., Jira).

For DevSecOps teams

MAINTAIN VELOCITY

Find and fix issues with integrated application security testing and risk reporting at every stage of the software development life cycle (SDLC) and CI pipelines. Establish security gates to support risk tolerance thresholds, minimize downstream issues, and reduce the cost of remediation.

For the business

MAXIMIZE AGILITY

Shift application security from a cost center to a business driver with a scalable, as-a-service security testing platform. Shorten time to value for your AppSec investment and lower the total cost of ownership by eliminating upfront capital expenditures and infrastructure maintenance burdens.

Build security into DevOps intelligently with Black Duck

Code Build Test Operate
Software development begins, which includes designing the system in an IDE, writing and reviewing the code for errors. During the building phase, the team takes the requirements documented during the planning phase to build the software. The software is assessed by the testing team to determine whether it meets the necessary requirements. Software is deployed and monitored in the production environment.

Simplify and scale application security testing for DevOps


Automate any scan, anytime, anywhere, all at once

Black Duck Polaris® Platform is an integrated, cloud-based application security testing solution optimized for the needs of DevSecOps. Easily onboard your developers and start scanning code in minutes, while enabling your security teams to track and manage AppSec testing activities and risks across thousands of apps.

Application security testing platform
Interactive application security testing solution

Test functionality and security at the same time


Optimize runtime security testing for DevOps automation

Interactive application security testing (IAST) can turn functional tests into security tests by monitoring web app interactions in the background. The Seeker® Interactive Analysis auto-validation feature can help your organization identify true risks that manifest at runtime. By returning results in seconds with near-zero false positives, Seeker saves you from needing to run manual security scans that slow down your production and burden developers.

Secure code as quickly as you write it


Address security defects in real time as you code

Code Sight™ provides rapid, IDE-based testing so your developers can write more-secure code and fix vulnerable components before pushing software downstream. Developers can quickly and accurately detect security defects and view detailed remediation guidance, all without leaving the IDE. Minimize time to remediation and raise developer security standards without impeding your workflows.

Application security testing in the IDE

Cultivate security-capable developers, accelerate remediation, and support compliance


Provide agile learning to foster secure development

Black Duck® Developer Security Training, powered by Secure Code Warrior, establishes a closed-loop strategy to preclude security issues at the developer desktop and accelerate remediation of issues detected during security testing. Interactive, microburst learning formats let developers learn, test, and apply their knowledge quickly, in the context of work they are already doing.

Integrate and automate security testing for DevSecOps


Accelerate risk detection, establish security gates

Black Duck application security testing solutions integrate across the SDLC and CI/CD pipelines to ensure timely risk detection and rapid remediation. Automate continuous checks for known vulnerabilities, source code weaknesses, and software supply chain risks. Use out-of-the-box plugins and extensions for popular DevOps tools like GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, and more, with universal CI support via a powerful CLI.

DevSecOps isn’t all about the tools

DevSecOps isn’t just about the tools you use; it’s about the people, the processes, and the planning too. No matter where you are in your DevSecOps journey, Black Duck can help you chart your own path to a successful DevSecOps program with support for cross-functional disciplines across today’s organizations.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


How do I scale security scanning without creating additional overhead and friction to the existing process?

The Polaris Platform is cloud-based and optimized to minimize costs for DevSecOps. There is no hardware to deploy or software to update, and no limits on team size or scan frequency. Onboard users and applications quickly across your entire organization while leveraging elastic capacity and concurrent scanning across projects and scan types.

Which security tests can I automate with Black Duck?

Black Duck has automated solutions for static application security testing (SAST), software composition analysis (SCA), interactive application security testing (IAST), and dynamic application security testing (DAST). These can be integrated and automated in CI/CD pipelines and configured based on predefined policies and workflow triggers. The Polaris Platform provides the flexibility to run the most appropriate analysis engine at the best possible stage in the pipeline based on application, project, schedule, or SDLC events.

Where is the best place to integrate security in a CI/CD pipeline?

Implementing a “shift everywhere” approach builds security in throughout the software development life cycle (SDLC) and CI/CD pipelines. You can do this by delivering code quality and security risk insight directly to developers within the IDE, establishing static and software composition analysis at build and within repositories and registries, and performing dynamic, preproduction analysis in staging and test environments to validate true risks that manifest in runtime.

How do I establish security gates without slowing down development or DevOps?

Black Duck solutions for application security testing integrate across DevOps workflows and CI/CD pipelines. Trigger scan events, automate prioritization and triage based on policy, and accelerate remediation for more efficient, effective DevSecOps that eliminates vulnerability backlogs. For cloud-based security as a service, the Polaris Platform can easily connect to SCM and CI tools to perform scheduled or triggered scans of proprietary code, open source, and third-party dependencies.

How do I let developers run vulnerability scans from their IDE?

Code Sight integrates security testing for source code and open source components directly into developers’ IDEs, so they can find and fix security defects without switching tools or disrupting their workflow. With Code Sight, developers can view detailed fix recommendations at the package and line-of-code level, removing the guesswork from remediation and elevating developers’ security skillset.

How do I dedupe results from many different application security testing tools?

As a security program evolves over time, DevSecOps initiatives may find that multiple tools are detecting the same risks in the same applications. This can result in wasted time and money and can generate conflicting results. Software Risk Manager correlates and deduplicates results so your teams can focus on fixing the most important risks first, across projects and without wasted effort spent on reviewing noisy results.

How do I combine test results from many different application security testing tools?

Software Risk Manager establishes a system of record for all application vulnerabilities, regardless of the testing tool or security vendor that identified them. This makes it possible to locate key vulnerabilities based on specific criteria and get a centralized view of your risk posture. And it enables an evaluation of the effectiveness of your AppSec program.

What’s the best way to organize a DevSecOps program?

Key steps to organizing a DevSecOps program include defining security testing policies up front so critical security steps can be automated; establishing intelligent security orchestration for each test type at various stages of the SDLC and CI/CD pipelines; adding security testing and remediation in the IDE so developers can find and fix issues as they write code; and collocating, correlating, and managing risk data to enable effective risk prioritization and remediation.
