Protect Your Applications from Open Source Security Risks

Modern applications rely heavily on open source components — but without visibility and control, you risk vulnerabilities, compliance issues, and costly breaches. Black Duck delivers comprehensive software composition analysis (SCA) to identify and manage open source risks across your codebase.

Overview

Black Duck: Complete Open Source Security and License Compliance

Black Duck is a leading software composition analysis (SCA) tool by Synopsys that helps organisations identify, track, and manage open source components and their associated security, license, and operational risks.

As open source adoption accelerates, so does the risk of introducing vulnerable or non-compliant components into your applications. Black Duck provides deep visibility into your open source software (OSS) inventory, continuously scanning for known vulnerabilities, policy violations, and license compliance issues.

By integrating directly into your development workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and repositories, Black Duck ensures secure, compliant open source usage without slowing down delivery.

Phase Pacific delivers expert implementation, training, and ongoing support for Black Duck solutions in Australia and New Zealand.
