Application Security Testing Reviews and Ratings

What is Application Security Testing ?

Gartner defines the application security testing (AST) market as the buyers and sellers of products and services designed to analyze and test applications for security vulnerabilities. This market is highly dynamic and continues to experience rapid evolution in response to changing application architectures and enabling technologies. AST tools are offered either as software-as-a-service (SaaS)-based subscription offerings, or less often, as on-premises software. Many vendors offer both options.

"Fortify Explores AI and Machine Learning for Enhanced Security Solutions"

We have been using fortify for more than 5 years now. It's a comprehensive solution with the largest rules based on my research. While accuracy is debatable and I believe it's the same for all the static solutions I guess. It can be resource intensive for some programming languages so you need to consider good resourcing for your scanning machines when it comes to use fortify to its great potential. Fortify has announced that they are embarking on a journey in AI and machine learning to enhance and reduce noise and build auto remediation features in Fortify, which I believe will be very useful to our company and the team.

"Seamless Testing with Fortify On Demand: A User Experience"

Fortify on Demand is a comprehensive security and one-stop solution for all appsec technology needs. My experience till date with Fortify On Demand FOD has been great and highly positive. The testing is seamless as we can scan and find issues hassel free. The best part of FOD is ease of use. From both developers and from automation solutions, the scan submission is simple and smooth. Sometimes the scan gets delayed on delivery which we understand as its a cloud service. One area of advice is that when the audit assistant marks an issue as false positive it would be better to have some idea or justification around it. Overall its a good and positive experience for me and my company. We would recommend to any one who wants to start Application security from day one.

"In-depth Look at Fortify's Strengths and Weaknesses in Security Testing"

We choose fortify for its strength and reduced false positive results during our review. Fortify performs static analysis based on control flow and dataflow analysis. So, yes, reduced false positives during our analysis when we chose this product. But not in all languages, for example they are weak in c and c++ language which was not a great impact for us but for others it may be. Another good feature is the centralized dashbord called ssc. This feature comes as free of cost compared to others in the market. Other vendors were charging us to buy this product where as Fortify didn't charge us even a penny. Also, their local technical team was very strong during the proof of concept fortify outstands compared to others.
