  Software Integrity Group, spun out in October 2024 and backed by Clearlake Capital and Francisco Partners).
  Its portfolio spans Software Composition Analysis (Black Duck SCA), static analysis (Coverity), dynamic
  and interactive testing, fuzzing, and the Polaris SaaS platform, helping organizations find and fix
