What it does
Black Duck (Burlington, Massachusetts) announced general availability of Black Duck Signal on March 23, 2026, describing it as an agentic AI application security solution purpose-built to secure AI-generated code in autonomous development workflows. Signal's product page says role- and task-based agents find and fix security issues and defects in human- and AI-generated code, built-in exploitability analysis removes false positives and low-risk findings, and developers or coding assistants can review and apply verified fixes before check-in. Analysis is LLM-based and language-agnostic (COBOL to Rust) and is checked against Black Duck's ContextAI knowledge base of human-curated security intelligence. Signal connects to AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, Google Gemini and GitHub Copilot through MCP so scans can be triggered by natural-language prompts. Pricing is not published.
