About the Threat Research Center

The Threat Research Center, one of the largest and most skilled teams of information security experts in the world, is an integral part of the Black Duck product family. They are responsible for performing Business Logic Assessments for our customers' sites as well as for ensuring the correct tuning and configuration of the scanner and verification of potential vulnerabilities discovered by the scanner. As technology continues to evolve and new attacks are discovered, the TRC continues to develop improvements to the scanning technology to ensure that it finds all potential vulnerabilities, and ensure that our testing is updated and augmented. They monitor, tune, and customize our assessments, confirm vulnerabilities, fine-tune the scoring, provide solutions, and add specific descriptions of the vulnerabilities and specific remediation advice wherever appropriate.

In the past fifteen years, Threat Research Center engineers have assessed more than 40,000 websites and verified over 20,000,000 vulnerabilities (more than 1.3 million vulnerabilities a year).
