The Black Duck Security GitHub app simplifies GitHub repo onboarding to accelerate time to value, scale security testing, and improve the developer experience.

GitHub security, simplified

Bring accurate SAST and SCA to the development environment. Get easy onboarding and continuous synchronization of Black Duck scans in GitHub repositories.

Why integrate Black Duck with GitHub?

GitHub is a powerful and flexible platform that helps development teams efficiently build and deploy applications at the speed their business demands. But organizations need to identify and remediate critical vulnerabilities, so they require more-comprehensive application security solutions than what GitHub Advanced Security tools can offer.

Black Duck Polaris Platform, Coverity® Static Analysis, and Black Duck® SCA integrate into GitHub workflows to provide in-depth security analysis. They quickly identify issues in open source and proprietary code, so you can remove defects and vulnerabilities before they’re exploited.
