Black Duck and AquilaX are both companies specializing in application security, but they differ in their approaches and offerings.

Black Duck provides a comprehensive suite of application security solutions, including:

  • Software Composition Analysis (SCA): Helps teams manage security, quality, and license compliance risks from open source and third-party code in applications and containers.

  • Static Application Security Testing (SAST): Detects software defects and vulnerabilities in proprietary code.

  • Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST): Identifies vulnerabilities in running applications.

  • Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST): Combines elements of SAST and DAST to detect vulnerabilities during runtime.

  • Fuzz Testing: Uncovers defects and zero-day vulnerabilities in services and protocols.

Black Duck's solutions are designed to integrate into various stages of the software development lifecycle, providing visibility and control over the software supply chain.

AquilaX, on the other hand, focuses on leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance application security testing. Their offerings include:

  • AI-Powered Security Scanning: Utilizes custom, lightweight AI models to virtually eliminate false positives, mimicking the logic and reasoning of an application security expert.

  • Comprehensive Security Solutions: Provides a suite of security tools, including Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Software Composition Analysis (SCA), Container Scanning, Infrastructure Scanning, and API Security.

  • Simplified Integration: Offers easy integration without the need for extensive setup, allowing for quick identification of vulnerabilities and risks across code, third-party libraries, software, and infrastructure.

AquilaX's approach emphasizes reducing the learning curve for developers and streamlining the utilization of security scanners through AI-driven solutions.

In summary, while both Black Duck and AquilaX aim to secure software applications, Black Duck offers a broad range of traditional security testing tools integrated throughout the development process, whereas AquilaX focuses on AI-driven solutions to enhance accuracy and efficiency in security scanning.
