Black Duck Polaris vs DongTai IAST

Black Duck Polaris is a cloud application-security platform that brings several types of testing into software development workflows. Its engines cover static analysis through Polaris fAST Static, software composition analysis through Polaris fAST SCA, and dynamic analysis through Polaris fAST Dynamic. It also scans infrastructure as code and detects secrets. Dashboards, correlated and enriched findings, portfolio analytics, and role-based views help teams organize risk. Polaris can produce software bills of materials using package-manager, signature, binary, and container analysis. It generates compliance reports for PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO 27001, and maps findings to OWASP Top 10 and CWE. Repository integrations include Azure DevOps, Bitbucket, GitHub, and GitLab. Issue tracking connects with Azure DevOps, Jira Cloud and Data Center, and ServiceNow; Jira and ServiceNow support two-way synchronization. Pricing is on request, and a free trial is available. The service description limits an application to 1 million lines of code and five supporting projects.

DongTai IAST is an open-source tool for finding vulnerabilities in running Java applications and their third-party components. It examines application traffic as it runs, using method-call data and taint tracking across HTTP, HTTPS, and RPC requests; it does not rely on dedicated attack tests. The project lists Java, Python, PHP, and Go for detection, though the Python, PHP, and Go agents are beta and community-maintained beta agents may not deploy successfully. DongTai can analyze runtime data flows, prioritize verified findings by risk, and provide vulnerability tracing and reports. Its server also offers project and user management, notifications, a Web API, and custom vulnerability rules. Deployment options include SaaS, localized installation, Docker Compose, and Kubernetes. An IntelliJ IDEA plugin can run the Java probe and detect vulnerabilities in the IDE. The open-source self-hosted plan costs nothing. The project lists web runtime support and an Apache-2.0 license.
