Black Duck SCA - Policy Management

Open source is widely used in software development because it allows you to create high-quality software quickly - especially with the use of AI-assisted coding tools. But if left unmanaged, open source can lead to license compliance issues as well as security and code quality risks. Whether you’re on the buy side or sell side, these risks could negatively affect valuation in an M&A transaction.

Join this webinar for an inside look at the data Black Duck Audits complied in 2024 from the hundreds of tech transactions and thousands of codebases we audited. We’ll cover:

• Open source license and security risks by the numbers
• Why audits have become the norm in M&A tech due diligence
• How you can get a complete picture of open source risks

By the Numbers: 2025 Open Source Risk in M&A

Just as most software assets contain open source, modern software applications commonly include third party software functionality via calls to external web services via APIs. By using web services, developers may be inadvertently signing their companies up to terms of service or using a web service without a suitable agreement. Using these services can expose a company to compliance, security, data privacy, and operational risks that could disrupt or severely affect the business. As part of the tech M&A due diligence process, you should be aware of these web services-related risks so that you can make informed decisions about deal valuation and remediation.
 
Join us for a discussion about web services and how they can affect M&A and other transactions. We’ll cover:
 
• The legal compliance, data privacy, security, and business risks that come with web services
• Typical terms of service and common pitfalls
• Real-world examples of these risks
• How a buyer can get a better understanding of these risks in a target’s codebase or how a seller can prepare for diligence to avoid risks
