Black Duck
Software Composition Analysis
Black Duck is a comprehensive solution for managing security, license compliance, and code quality risks that come from the use of open source in applications and containers. Named a leader in software composition analysis (SCA) by Forrester, Black Duck gives you unmatched visibility into third-party code, enabling you to control it across your software supply chain and throughout the application life cycle.
Only Black Duck combines versatile open source risk management with deep binary inspection to provide a best-in-class SCA solution that helps you minimize risks associated with open source and other third-party software. In a time when , Black Duck empowers your development, operations, procurement, and security teams to:
- Find and fix security vulnerabilities at each stage in the SDLC, with detailed, vulnerability-specific remediation guidance and technical insight.
- Eliminate risk of open source license noncompliance and safeguard your intellectual property by using the industry’s largest open source knowledge base to identify which of 2,650 licenses are relevant to the open source in your applications (including code snippets from larger components).
- Avoid development cost overruns and combat code decay with operational risk metrics associated with poor open source code quality.
- Scan virtually any software, firmware, and source code to generate a comprehensive bill of materials (BOM) of what’s inside.
- Automatically monitor for new vulnerabilities that affect your BOM, with custom policies and workflow triggers to accelerate remediation and reduce your risk exposure. 1
- Identify open source in code, binaries, and containers.
- Detect partial and modified components.
- Automate scanning with DevOps integrations.
- Map components to known vulnerabilities.
- Identify license and component quality risks.
- Monitor for new vulnerabilities in development and production.
- Set and enforce open source use and security policies.
- Automate policy enforcement with DevOps integrations.
- Prioritize and track remediation activities.
Black Duck identifies more open source, with greater accuracy, using a unique multifactor detection technology to generate and validate a complete BOM to track declared components, unique file hash signatures, dependencies resolved during a build, and open source code snippets. Black Duck’s intelligent scan client integrates with development tools used throughout the SDLC and automatically detects resources to optimize its scan methodology.
Black Duck’s open source security risk insight combines curated data from public sources (e.g., NVD) and detailed, proprietary analysis from the Synopsys Cybersecurity Research Center (CyRC). Get notified of new vulnerabilities weeks before they are published in the NVD (reducing your window of exposure), and benefit from our exclusive enhanced vulnerability data and Black Duck Security Advisories (BDSAs), including:
- Critical risk metrics, vulnerability-specific technical insight, exploit details, and impact analysis
- CVSS 2 and CVSS 3 scoring and CWE classification data
- Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Temporal scoring not provided by the NVD
- Component-level upgrade and remediation guidance, mitigating factors, and compensating controls
- Vulnerability impact analysis to determine if the vulnerable code is being called by the application
- Custom vulnerability risk scoring to match your company risk profile
- Vulnerabilities are prioritized for remediation across multiple critical data points, including severity, solution availability, exploitability, CWE, and reachability
Configure your open source security and use policies based on a comprehensive array of criteria, including license type, vulnerability severity, open source component version, and more. Enforce policies with automatic workflow triggers, notifications, and bidirectional Jira integration for accelerated remediation initiation and reporting.
With Black Duck in your toolkit, you can quickly and easily analyze vendor-supplied binaries to identify weak links in your software supply chain without access to the source code. Get deep, actionable risk metrics to make informed decisions about your use and procurement of technologies before they put you at risk. Black Duck’s intelligent scan client automatically determines if the target software is source or a compiled binary, then identifies and catalogs all third-party software components, associated licenses, and known vulnerabilities affecting your applications.

BDBA Package Manager Support
- Distro-package-manager: Leverages information from a Linux distribution package manager database to extract component information.
- The remaining four methods are only applicable to Java bytecode:
–pom: Extracts the Java package, group name, and version from the pom.xml or pom.properties files in a JAR file.
–manifest: extracts the Java package name and version from the entries in the MANIFEST.MF file in a JAR file.
–jar-filename: Extracts the Java package name and version from the jar-filename.
–hashsum: Uses the sha1 checksum of the JAR file to look it up from known Maven Central registered Java projects.
