One platform. Complete application security.
Secure human- and AI-generated software at enterprise scale. Polaris unifies trusted SAST, SCA and DAST engines with IaC and secrets scanning, developer-first workflows, intelligent risk prioritization and centralized governance.
Depth where it matters. One view everywhere.
Polaris brings proprietary-code, open-source and runtime application testing into one operating model—then adds infrastructure and secret detection for fuller development coverage.
SAST & IaC
Find security defects in proprietary code and infrastructure definitions with fast feedback and deeper full scans.
SCA & SBOM
Identify open-source components, vulnerabilities and license risk using Black Duck intelligence and generate SBOMs.
DAST & APIs
Test traditional and single-page web applications, cloud services and APIs from an attacker’s perspective.
Secrets
Detect exposed credentials and sensitive values before they create a pathway into applications and infrastructure.
Consolidate results, add business and environmental context, prioritize exploitable risk, enforce policy, and report from application to portfolio.
From repository discovery to verified remediation.
Automate AppSec around the events developers already create—without making security another destination.
Discover & onboard
Find new repositories and branches across GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps.
Scan by event
Run rapid scans on pull requests and deeper scans on merges, builds or schedules.
Prioritize & govern
Apply contextual risk scoring, reachability and policy to focus action.
Fix in the flow
Return guidance in IDEs, PRs, pipelines and issue trackers, then measure progress.
Close the remediation gap at AI speed.
Vulnerability discovery has accelerated; remediation is now the constraint. Black Duck Assist provides clear issue summaries, contextual analysis and code-level fix recommendations where developers work.
- Plain-language, context-aware explanations
- One-click quality fix recommendations
- Guidance inside IDEs and pipelines
- Secure coding learning in the moment
More code demands stronger guardrails.
AI coding assistants increase velocity and code volume, but can move review, testing and rework downstream. Polaris turns security policy into an automated part of the software factory.
- Bulk application and repository onboarding
- Policy-driven pull-request and build gates
- Unified risk across testing methods
- Governance that scales across teams
AI productivity without security debt.
Black Duck’s 2026 research of 831 software and DevOps professionals shows why automated governance is becoming essential.
see improved productivity and release velocity
AI assistants save developers eight hours per week on average—but speed alone does not guarantee secure outcomes.
have full AI governance in place
Teams with full governance are reported as 55% more likely to see major efficiency improvement, connecting discipline with value.
Govern risk without becoming the bottleneck.
Centralized controls give security consistency while developers receive fast, contextual feedback in familiar tools.
Policy as code
Define thresholds by application and risk profile; block a pull request or build only when policy requires action.
Risk that reflects reality
Blend severity with reachability, exploitability, KEV status, environment and business importance.
Measurable adherence
Track teams, targets, vulnerability burndown, security posture and policy compliance through role-based dashboards.
Developer adoption
Return PR comments, IDE guidance and tickets in the tools teams use, reducing context switching and security friction.
Portfolio visibility
Give leaders one view across applications and testing types for clearer resource and risk decisions.
Broad ecosystem fit
Integrate leading SCM, CI/CD, issue-tracking, training and third-party security tools.
