OpenText Fortify Static Code Analyzer (SCA) is a static application security testing (SAST) solution that detects security vulnerabilities in source code early and empowers IT teams to fix issues before applications make it to production.

Discover software weaknesses during the development cycle and quickly correct them with detailed, line-of-code guidance. Empower your developer and security teams with the resources they need to build and sustain trustworthy applications.

Here are the top 7 reasons your organization should choose Fortify SCA:

1. Rely on an industry leader: Gartner and other industry analysts have recognized our AppSec Static Code Analyzer solution as a market leader.
2. Deploy in your preferred environment: Leverage your existing environments—or take advantage of new ones—with the flexibility to deploy Fortify SCA on premises, in the cloud, or as AppSec-as-a-Service.
3. Detect security vulnerabilities regardless of the programming language: Fortify SCA covers 30+ major programming languages and their frameworks, as well as more than 1,000 vulnerability categories.
4. Receive fast, accurate results to find and repair code vulnerabilities: Use a highly accurate SAST solution, as demonstrated by its 100% true positive rate in the OWASP 1.2b Benchmark.
5. Automate security analysis in the CI/CD pipeline: Access a robust ecosystem of integrations and open-source component analysis tools to enhance DevOps and streamline development.
6. Customize scan policies for targeted results: Toggle between three different scan policies to focus results on current priorities and exclude irrelevant or low-priority issues, if desired.
7. Secure cloud-native apps: Enable comprehensive shift-left security for cloud-native applications—from IaC to serverless—from a single solution.

A Bit on Fortify Static Code Analyzer

Fortify Static Code Analyzer (SCA) pinpoints the root cause of security vulnerabilities in the source code, prioritizes the most serious issues, and provides detailed guidance on how to fix them so developers can resolve issues in less time with centralized software security management.

It uses multiple algorithms and an expansive knowledge base of secure coding rules to analyze an application’s source code for exploitable vulnerabilities. This technique analyzes every feasible path that execution and data can follow to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
