BLACK DUCK

HQ: MASSACHUSETTS, US CEO: GREG HUGHES FOUNDED: 2002

Despite nearing 24 years in the industry, the independent renaissance of Black Duck is a case study in the economic viability of the DevSecOps market. Black Duck was spun off into an independent entity through a massive US $ 2.1bn acquisition, allowing it to refocus on its core competency: providing exhaustive software composition analysis and open-source security intelligence. Through its proprietary KnowledgeBase, Black Duck offers a repository of more than 10 million open-source projects across more han 57,000 repositories. Greg Hughes Chief Executive Officer Black Duck
