Secure your open source code with advanced SCA
Black Duck® SCA helps teams manage the security, quality, and license compliance risks in open source and third-party code.
Know what’s in your code
Manage software supply chain risk
Establish trust with your customers
A Magic Quadrant™ Leader for Software Supply Chain Security
Black Duck named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Software Supply Chain Security
Manage software supply chain risks with SCA
Take control with unmatched open source software detection and expert risk insight. Generate complete SBOMs, detect vulnerabilities, monitor for emergent risks, resolve license conflicts, and support regulatory compliance (e.g., EU CRA).
Find what others miss
Fix with expert clarity
Take control of dependency risk
Black Duck® Security Advisories help teams identify vulnerabilities, assess risk, and drive remediation with precision.
Create a software supply chain firewall with SDLC integrations
Black Duck puts you in control, so you can define open source policies and enforce them automatically across every stage of development.
For developers
For development and DevOps teams
For security and operations teams
Scale SBOMs across the SDLC with SCA
Import SBOMs into Black Duck SCA to map dependencies to known components. Export SBOMs in SPDX and CycloneDX formats. Integrate with SDLC tools for automated SBOM generation and risk monitoring.
Innovate with safe, compliant AI models
Discover all open source and third-party AI models that are integrated with your projects. Uncover each model’s origin and license obligations, and identify if it’s been significantly retrained from its original state.
“Black Duck is the spearhead of our Bill of Materials initiative.”
“Black Duck SCA gives us confidence in the security, license compliance, and quality of our software supply chain. It’s not just a tool—it’s a strategic enabler for secure, agile development.”
“Black Duck SCA is impactful to our team because it brings automation, visibility, and risk reduction into our software supply chain. From a DevSecOps perspective, it seamlessly integrates into our CI/CD pipelines, enabling early detection of open source vulnerabilities and license compliance issues without delaying delivery.”

Black Duck SCA
2026 OSSRA Report
Open source security is often overlooked due to the misconception that vulnerabilities in proprietary code and open source code can be detected and remediated in similar ways. The reality is that SAST, DAST, and other application security testing tools cannot effectively detect open source vulnerabilities. Enter SCA.
The key differentiator between SCA and other application security tools is what these tools analyze, and in what state. SCA analyzes third-party open source code for vulnerabilities, licenses, and operational factors, while SAST analyzes weaknesses in proprietary code, and DAST tests running applications for vulnerable behavior.
