Application Security Testing

Build application security into your SDLC, from development through deployment

Read the best practices guide

Application vulnerabilities are a primary target for hackers. But the complexity and pace of modern application development makes effective detection and remediation of security issues increasingly difficult. Synopsys gives teams the tools and services they need to address security weaknesses and vulnerabilities in proprietary and third-party code, in any software, at every stage of the application life cycle.

No one AppSec tool does it all

To succeed you need to take a holistic approach, integrating multiple security analysis techniques throughout the software development life cycle (SDLC).

Open source

Proprietary code and frameworks

Web UI / service interface

Open source +

Software composition analysis

Detect and manage open source and third-party component risks in development and production.

Proprietary code and frameworks +

Static analysis

Find and fix security vulnerabilities and quality issues in code as it's being developed.

Web UI / service interface +

Interactive and dynamic analysis

Pinpoint exploitable vulnerabilities and data protection issues in web applications.
Detect vulnerabilities exposed through protocols and APIs.

Confidently tackle security from all angles

Combine multiple analysis techniques to test applications

Comprehensively test any applications

No single AppSec solution can do it all. Synopsys tools and services enable you to combine multiple analysis techniques to comprehensively test any application, service, or container.

Static analysis: Identify security defects in proprietary code.
Software composition analysis: Detect vulnerable open source components and containers.
Dynamic analysis: Test for vulnerabilities in running applications.

Shift application security left

Your developers are the first line of defense against security weaknesses (CWEs) and vulnerabilities (CVEs). Enable them to find and fix security defects as they code with Code Sight™ IDE integration.

Build security into your automated SDLC

Your development processes are automated. Your security testing should be, too. Integrate and automate security testing with your existing CI, repository, and workflow tools with Synopsys DevOps integrations.

Augment your team with on-demand security testing services

Application security experts are hard to find. The Synopsys global team of security testing experts allows you to quickly and cost-effectively address resource gaps and priority projects.

Static, dynamic, and mobile application security testing.
Specialized testing for thick client, IoT, and embedded applications.

Track and manage security risks and progress across your portfolio

When managing application security, sometimes you need to see the forest, and sometimes you need to focus on the trees. With Polaris Software Integrity Platform™ reporting, you can do both.

Aggregate risk scores based on static, software composition, and dynamic analysis.
Identify and focus on the highest-priority issues when you filter across multiple security tests.
Track improvements over time with developer trend reporting.
