All use cases
Application Security
Connect source repositories to running services so a vulnerable dependency is traced to the workload that actually exposes it.
With Blackthorn
Links code, build artefacts and running services, so a dependency finding resolves to the exact exposed service and owner.
Without Blackthorn
Scanners report a vulnerable package with no route to the team that ships it or the service that exposes it.
A dependency finding is only useful when you can answer two questions: is it running anywhere, and can anyone reach it. Blackthorn resolves both by linking build artefacts to deployed workloads.
