Fortify is a comprehensive suite of software security tools developed by Micro Focus (formerly part of Hewlett Packard Enterprise). It's designed to help organizations identify, prioritize, and remediate security vulnerabilities in their software applications throughout the development lifecycle. Fortify's primary focus is on static application security testing (SAST), which involves analyzing source code, bytecode, and binaries for security vulnerabilities without executing the program. This approach allows developers and security teams to catch potential security issues early in the development process, reducing the cost and effort of fixing vulnerabilities later. Key components of the Fortify suite include: Static Code Analyzer: The core SAST tool that scans code for vulnerabilities. WebInspect: A dynamic...
