Synopsys today launched fAST Dynamic, a new application security testing solution that helps organizations find and remediate security vulnerabilities in today’s modern web applications.
According to a company announcement, fAST Dynamic builds on the scanning technology Synopsys acquired from WhiteHat Security and adds to fAST Static and fAST SCA, which were built on the company’s Polaris platform last year. It allows users to address vulnerabilities in their code, open source dependencies, and application behavior with one solution.
“Dynamic analysis is an essential technology for securing modern web applications, but legacy DAST tools can be too slow and difficult to use in fast-paced development environments,” said Jason Schmitt, general manager of Synopsys Software Integrity Group. “With fAST Dynamic, we have advanced Whitehat Security’s powerful and accurate scanning technology to create a solution designed for the pace of modern development. Synopsys fAST Dynamic allows DevOps teams to quickly and accurately scan applications, eliminating the time-consuming configuration and classification tasks often required by legacy tools. The addition of fAST Dynamic enables Polaris customers to achieve rapid static, SCA, and Dynamic scanning through an integrated SaaS platform simplifies and accelerates DevSecOps workflows.”
The features Synopsys has introduced in fAST Dynamic include:
- Simplified onboarding and configuration
- Smart attack execution with the ability to explore and analyze web applications to ensure comprehensive test coverage
- An optimized analytics engine that targets critical, high-impact vulnerabilities, minimizes false positives, and can be integrated into an organization’s CI/CD pipeline.
Synopsys fAST Dynamic will be available on the Polaris platform in April. To learn more, read: blog post.
