Our story
Our pedigree: We helped the world adopt open source software safely. We unified disparate testing technologies into the first comprehensive application security platform. We proved a single vendor could secure both embedded systems and web applications. And we became the only vendor recognized as a Leader across AppSec, SCA, and software supply chain security by the industry’s most trusted independent analysts.
Where we’re headed: The jobs our customers need done haven’t changed — trust what ships, focus on what matters, fix it fast. What’s changed is the scale and speed required to do it. Black Duck’s hybrid model—deterministic analysis augmented by AI-powered reasoning and agentic automation—is application security built for the AI era, and it’s how we keep that promise as AI rewrites how fast software gets made.
