Fortify Source Code Analysis Suite 4.5 released

Fortify Software announced the immediate availability of Fortify SCA 4.5, which includes features that enable development, audit and information security teams to identify and fix security vulnerabilities early and with less effort.

The latest edition of Fortify’s award-winning software security suite expands on its proven industry leading record of identifying and eliminating the most security vulnerabilities, and introduces the industry’s most advanced reporting features, enabling intelligent drill-down capabilities, to give security teams precise details regarding coding trends and status. Fortify SCA 4.5 also adds more regulatory compliance reports to offer the most comprehensive details in the industry. Developers and security auditors will also reduce remediation time with a new analysis trace GUI that graphically represents security flaws discovered by the Fortify static analysis engine.

Fortify SCA 4.5 equips development, audit and information security teams with the industry’s strongest reporting and metrics capabilities. Specifically, several out-of-the-box reports will help track progress toward developing secure code, such as reporting on OWASP top-10 issues. Fortify SCA also now supports the creation of customised report with a simple, wizard-based approach. For enterprises concerned with compliance initiatives such as PCI or FISMA, Fortify SCA now comes with pre-built reports to help enterprises quickly gauge progress against mandates. Moreover, developers will remediate security issues even faster with Fortify SCA’s new graphical interface to visually describe the vulnerabilities uncovered.
