Synopsys today announced a new application security testing solution, fAST Dynamic, that helps organizations find and remediate security vulnerabilities in today’s modern web applications.
According to the company’s announcement, fAST Dynamic is built on the scanning technology Synopsys acquired from WhiteHat Security, and adds fAST Static and fAST SCA, which were built into the company’s Polaris platform last year. This allows users to address vulnerabilities in their own code, open source dependencies, and application behavior in a single solution.
“Dynamic analysis is a key technology for securing modern web applications, but legacy DAST tools can be too slow and difficult to use in rapid development environments,” said Jason Schmitt, general manager of Synopsys Software Integrity Group. “With FAST Dynamic technology, we have developed Whitehat Security’s powerful and precise scanning technology to create a solution designed for the speed of modern development. Synopsys fAST Dynamic enables DevOps teams to quickly and accurately scan their applications, eliminating the need for time-consuming configuration and triage often required with legacy tools. With the addition of Fast Dynamics, Polaris users can control Fast Static, SCA, and dynamic scanning through a unified SaaS platform, enabling them to simplify and accelerate their DevSecOps workflows.”
Among the features introduced by Synopsys with fAST Dynamic are:
- Simplified integration and configuration
- Smart attack execution, offers the ability to navigate and analyze web applications to ensure comprehensive test coverage
- An optimized analysis engine that targets critical and high-impact vulnerabilities and minimizes false positives and can be integrated into organizational CI/CD channels
Synopsys fAST Dynamic will be available in April on the Polaris platform. To learn more, read on blog post.
