Remove security from the release bottleneck.
Govern risk without slowing software delivery.
and
Modern dependency chains, AI-assisted code, and binaries scale faster than manual triage.
Mean vulnerabilities per codebase in the latest general software campaign reference.
Open source in a typical codebase is transitive — teams often never directly selected it.
Codebases contain components with no development activity in two or more years.
Released artifacts covered in Black Duck intelligence references used in the campaign.
Manual vulnerability and license triage does not scale across modern software.
- 01
See every layer
Black Duck scans source, binaries, firmware, containers, AI-generated snippets, and C/C++ without package managers.
- 02
Route findings to owners
X-DLM™ creates governed Polarion work items linked to requirements, architecture, code, tests, releases, and approvals.
- 03
Keep delivery moving
Security becomes a lifecycle workflow, not a late-stage checkpoint. Engineering fixes confirmed, contextualized risk with remediation guidance.
See how Siemens Polarion and Black Duck become one governed software risk workflow.
X-DLM™ turns Black Duck software supply chain intelligence into Siemens Polarion work items, requirements links, approvals, escalation paths, and continuously maintained evidence.

Backed by Siemens lifecycle governance and Black Duck AppSec intelligence.

Siemens Polarion ALM
Polarion provides the lifecycle system of record for requirements, tests, approvals, traceability, workflow automation, audit evidence, and regulated software delivery.

Black Duck Software Composition Analysis
Black Duck identifies open source and third-party components across source, binaries, containers, firmware, snippets, AI-generated code, and C/C++ environments without package managers.
What X-DLM™ changes for your business
Security runs itself.Your teams focus on product innovation.
Before
Security as a release bottleneck
Manual triage, fragmented tools, late-cycle surprises. Security gates slow delivery and drain engineering bandwidth.
After X-DLM™
Automated vulnerability handling from detection to remediation. Engineers stay focused on building — security runs in parallel, not as a checkpoint.
Before
Security bolted on at the end
Reactive posture. Vulnerabilities discovered late. Costly rework. Customers and auditors see through it.
After X-DLM™
Secure by design from day one. Black Duck SCA monitors every component continuously — source, binaries, firmware, and AI-generated code — before it ships.
Before
Compliance as recurring overhead
Engineers pulled into audit prep. Legal scrambling for evidence. Weeks of work per assessment. Repeatable cost with no revenue return.
After X-DLM™
Evidence generated and timestamped continuously via Polarion LiveDocs. Audit prep drops 60–80%. What took weeks takes hours — without touching engineering.
Before
Security as a cost story in sales
Enterprise buyers in regulated markets want proof of security maturity. Without it, deals stall, diligence cycles extend, and contracts go to competitors who have it.
After X-DLM™
100% traceable, audit-ready cybersecurity proof — with Siemens and Black Duck behind it. Your sales team closes faster. Your brand commands a premium.
Focus on building.
Let X-DLM™ handle the security workflow.
Give your engineering team one connected system for open source risk, SBOMs, vulnerability response, requirements traceability, test evidence, and release documentation — without turning developers into security compliance administrators.
