Black Duck Software, now an independent company following its acquisition for $2.1 billion, is dedicated to enhancing the speed and effectiveness of its analysis engines while incorporating AI for deeper insights and productivity gains. The company aims to address concerns of insecure code by developers who may accept it from coding assistants without proper scrutiny
CEO Jason Schmitt underscores the importance of operational expertise from Clearlake and Francisco Partners for Black Duck's growth strategy. The acquisition from Synopsys has enabled Black Duck to integrate AI into its processes and broaden its services for better market positioning, especially as competitors like Palo Alto Networks enter the field. Schmitt, with a background in software development and security, has guided the company towards scalability and independence, emphasizing the need for a strong business model to sustain growth in the dynamic cybersecurity landscape. ```https://www.bankinfosecurity.com/black-ducks-blueprint-for-growth-as-independent-company-a-26514
