Remove security from the release bottleneck.
Govern risk without slowing software delivery.
Engineering 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.
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.
General software companies need to answer to more than one framework.
The main story leads with EU CRA, but the proof story should also support NIST SSDF, SOC 2, open source license obligations, SBOM expectations, and customer procurement security questionnaires.
