X-DLM integration: Siemens Polarion and Black Duck

Remove security from the release bottleneck.

Govern risk without slowing software delivery.

Development teams do not need another disconnected dashboard. They need findings routed into the workflow where requirements, tests, releases, approvals, and fixes already live. X-DLM™ brings Black Duck intelligence into Siemens Polarion so security governance runs inside the software lifecycle.

Modern dependency chains, AI-assisted code, and binaries scale faster than manual triage.

581

Mean vulnerabilities per codebase in the latest general software campaign reference.

64%

Open source in a typical codebase is transitive — teams often never directly selected it.

93%

Codebases contain components with no development activity in two or more years.

800M

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.

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.
