BLACK DUCK, INC
STUART, FLORIDA

Black Duck Software was a privately held company recognized for its automated solutions in securing and managing open source software (OSS). Synopsys acquired Black Duck to enhance its portfolio by addressing the challenges associated with OSS, such as security vulnerabilities and license compliance issues. The acquisition allows integration of Black Duck's industry-leading products that automate processes like identifying, inventorying, and alerting on issues related to OSS. Black Duck fostered a vibrant company culture aimed at providing both professional fulfillment and enjoyment for its employees, offering amenities typical in tech companies such as free snacks, craft beer taps, and various fun events including Waffle Wednesday and Quackaoke. The company also engaged the local community by collaborating with Notre Dame Christo Reyes high school and hosting up to 50 college interns annually. Previously headquartered in Stuart, FL, Black Duck was incorporated on August 2, 2016, under Florida Company Status, with mailing address at 3984 SE DIXIE ROSS STREET. It has since been integrated into Synopsys' broader objectives of providing comprehensive software security and quality solutions. As part of the larger entity, Black Duck continues to contribute its expertise towards building integrity in the software development lifecycle and addressing modern challenges like IoT, DevOps, CI/CD, and Cloud technologies. Synopsys (Nasdaq: SNPS) is a leader in electronic design automation (EDA), semiconductor IP, and increasingly, software security.
