    If you are using a lot of open-source libraries, which is most likely, this is a must-have to ensure no known vulnerabilities slip into production

    Scrut Automation
    Scrut Automation is great for compliance needs, we used it for SOC2 compliance and they are a trusted partner to guide us through the complex process. I also liked the infrastructure scanning and Pen tests that they did, it allowed us to improve our infrastructure. I really appreciated their guidance and support through the process. Scrut supports other compliance frameworks too but we did not use those at this time.

    Pros
    Black Duck Software
    • Quick inventory scan: Black Duck helps us scan the code repositories in no time. And quickly list the components and I now really know what is in my code.
    • Security and License risk management: Black Duck being rich in its knowledge base about the vulnerabilities and license issues of open source components, quickly compares the identified inventory to the Black Duck knowledge base and lists all the vulnerabilities and license issues in the code.
    • Integration for automatic scanning: Black Duck is part of devops which provides us automatic scanning. Black Duck is not just for devops but also SecOps.

    Alternatives Considered
    Black Duck Software
    Black Duck is an obvious choice, with its versatility, integration, best enterprise support and on top of the list the knowledge base Black Duck has. Vega or Grabber also scans the application and tells about vulnerabilities. But it can never be compared with the feature set of Black Duck. Black Duck can also generate reports.
