Black Duck and Pivotal have collaborated to integrate Black Duck Hub and Pivotal Cloud Foundry to deliver a Secure DevOps process and user experience for building and deploying applications to Pivotal Cloud Foundry. <\/p>\n
Using Black Duck Hub, enterprise customers can automatically identify all the open source components; detect and analyze known security vulnerabilities, compliance issues, and code quality risks; and enable policy management to control risks and their remediation.

Enterprise customers can also use Hub to access Black Duck KnowledgeBase, the worlds most comprehensive data store of open source components and risk intelligence. <\/p>\n
Open source comprises 80 to 90 percent of the components in a modern cloud-native application. Integration of Black Duck Hub with Pivotal Cloud Foundry provides automated visibility and control into that open source, said Black Duck CEO Lou Shipley. This helps increase enterprises confidence to increase their production deployment of cloud-native applications. <\/p>\n
