Best Practice Session: Managing Risk with Black Duck Policies

Our Live sessions are offered on Demand and are about 30 mins in length. More details about the session are below along with information on how to contact us to request a session. 

This session focuses on how to use Black Duck policies to proactively manage open-source risk—tailoring alerts, prioritizing issues, and aligning with your organization’s security and compliance goals.

Key Takeaways

  • Policies Drive Action: Define what matters most security, license, or operational risk and configure policies to surface only the most relevant issues.
  • Avoid Alert Fatigue: Craft targeted rules that reduce noise and focus teams on what truly needs attention.
  • Customize by Context: Use project tags, distribution types, license status, and vulnerability characteristics to fine-tune policy conditions.
  • Prioritize Smartly: Leverage BDSA metrics like exploitability, reachability, and solution availability to guide remediation efforts.
  • Adopt Strategically: Start with broad categories (e.g., networked vs. isolated apps), then refine policies based on application type, business impact, and team workflows.
