Software Composition Analysis (SCA)

• Detect open source components (declared, transitive, binary, snippet) across codebases, containers, firmware, and artifacts

• Leverage the Black Duck KnowledgeBase—an extensive repository curated by an expert research team—for vulnerability and license insights beyond standard sources like NVD

• Generate SBOMs in both SPDX and CycloneDX formats; import external SBOMs for centralized visibility and policy enforcement

Static Code Analysis (fAST Static / Coverity)

• Perform fast, incremental scans triggered in IDE, pull requests, or CI pipelines. Detect code quality issues, hard-coded secrets, and security defects early in development

• Drive remediation with automated policy enforcement and build-break capabilities

Dynamic Testing (fAST Dynamic)

• Conduct quick, self-serve web and API scans with minimal setup. Ideal for modern applications including SPAs, internal tools, and production workloads

AI-Driven Remediation (Polaris Assist)

• Use generative AI to generate actionable vulnerability summaries and code fix suggestions

Application Security Posture Management (ASPM)

• Consolidate results from over 135 testing tools into Software Risk Manager™, a centralized repository for security posture reporting

• Guide developers on what to fix first with prioritized insights and compliance tracking

Seamless Integration and Scalability

• Onboard hundreds of projects quickly from SCM platforms like GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure. Integrates with IDEs, build tools, CI/CD pipelines, and issue trackers to embed security where teams already work

• Automatically enforce organizational policies by blocking merges or builds when violations occur

Benefits to Organizations

• Accelerate secure development: Shift security left, reduce mean time to remediation, and streamline release cycles

• Increase visibility & control: Monitor risk across proprietary and open source code from dev to production

• Maintain compliance: Support legal and regulatory mandates with license tracking, SBOM exports, and audit trails
