Black Duck Software Composition Analysis (SCA) vs. Secure Code Warrior vs. Zscaler Posture Control

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

Other departments have set up Secure Code Warrior to use as a training tool, and for annual security tournaments. I take part in the tournaments and use the training opportunities presented. The interface is easy to use, making learning about secure code incredible fun (and therefore more memorable) - I've definitely learnt a lot through it.

• 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.

If you don’t know how to scan for the language, it isn’t entirely user friendly

Support seems very responsive.

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.

I had no influence on selecting Secure Code Warrior. So far the Pluralsight courses I have used have all been video based - the interactivity of Secure Code Warrior makes learning more fun, and therefore more memorable. Finding courses on both Pluralsight and Secure Code Warrior is much easier than on Linkedin Learning.
