Black Duck customers span every sector, but all have at least one thing in common – open source is an essential part of their business and software development process. Open source is integral to the products that they make, the services that they deliver and the infrastructure that powers their operations. And all know the importance of managing and securing open source code.
ClickFox Transforms Big Data
With over a decade of expertise, Black Duck customer ClickFox transforms big data into connected, dynamic journeys to deliver billions in incremental revenue, operational efficiencies, and customer satisfaction improvements to its clients. ClickFox’s Fortune 500 customers include some of the world’s best-known banks, communications companies and utilities.
I recently spoke with Zach Johnson, the IT and Enterprise Manager for ClickFox, who leads a cross-functional team from their DevOps, Security and Product groups for weekly reviews of Black Duck Hub’s open source code security scans.
“Due to the nature of our work, we rely heavily on the open source community,” says Johnson. “From both a security and a customer satisfaction standpoint, we want to make sure that the code we deliver to customers is free of vulnerabilities and potential licensing problems and is the best code possible. Many of our customers also use Black Duck and we want to be sure we’re catching code vulnerabilities before they do.”
