Secure Software at the Speed Your Business Demands
Software development is more fast-paced and automated than ever before. To keep up and adapt to the rapidly changing needs of your business, you need to build security into DevOps. Synopsys solutions for DevSecOps help you shift security left without slowing down your development teams.
For developers
Workflow disruption
Complex tools and a lack of security training create delays and lead to late-stage rework. Developers have to go back to fix existing code, taking time and resources away from high-priority projects.
For DevSecOps teams
Pipeline congestion
Integrating dozens of AST tools can be challenging and time-consuming. AppSec testing can impede or break development pipelines, leading to lost productivity and missed deadlines.
For everyone
Vulnerability overload
With too many results from too many tools, security and development teams struggle to sort through disparate findings to focus on the issues that matter most to the business.
Advancing DevSecOps with policy-as-code
Ultimately, three key things need to happen to achieve intelligent, policy-driven DevSecOps.
- Take pressure off the coding stage
- Take pressure off policies and testing
- Take pressure off the triage stage
Empower secure coding
Secure code as fast as you write it
Code Sight™ provides rapid, IDE-based testing so your developers can write more-secure code and fix vulnerable components before pushing software downstream. Developers can quickly and accurately detect security defects and view detailed remediation guidance, all without leaving the IDE. Minimize time to remediation and raise developer security standards without impeding your workflows.
Accomplish efficient testing
Run the right tests at the right time
Minimize friction in your DevOps workflow while still maximizing the impact on your risk posture. Intelligent Orchestration allows you to simplify AST integration and eliminate pipeline congestion using defined policies to ensure the right tests are run at the right time.
Triage risks effectively
Filter AppSec noise and focus on what matters most
By consolidating findings from all your automated and manual tests into single place, you can remove the duplication, triage results, and concentrate your efforts on a smaller set of high-priority issues. Code Dx® uses machine learning to intelligently correlate and prioritize findings, so teams can focus remediation activities on issues that have the greatest business impact, cutting our unnecessary noise.
Examine security at runtime
Optimize runtime security testing for DevOps automation
Interactive application security testing (IAST) can turn functional tests into security tests by monitoring web app interactions in the background. The Seeker® auto-validation feature can help your organization identify true risks that manifest at runtime. By returning results in seconds with near-zero false positives, Seeker saves you from needing to run manual security scans that slow down your production and burden developers.
DevSecOps isn’t all about the tools
DevSecOps isn’t just about the tools you use; it’s about the people, the processes, and the planning too. No matter where you are in your DevSecOps journey, Synopsys can help you chart your own path to a successful DevSecOps program with support for cross-functional disciplines across today’s organizations.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Synopsys has automated solutions for static application security testing (SAST), software composition analysis (SCA), interactive application security testing (IAST), and dynamic application security testing (DAST). These can be integrated and automated in CI/CD pipelines and configured based on predefined policies and workflow triggers. And Synopsys Intelligent Orchestration allows organizations to unify security testing across tools and vendors.
Implementing a “shift everywhere” approach builds security in throughout the software development life cycle (SDLC) and CI/CD pipelines. You can do this by delivering code quality and security risk insight directly to developers within the IDE, establishing static and software composition analysis at build and within repositories and registries, and performing dynamic, preproduction analysis in staging and test environments to validate true risks that manifest in runtime.
Code Dx and Intelligent Orchestration work together to establish security gates across DevOps workflows and CI/CD pipelines using policies as code. This helps ensure that only the right tests are run at the right time given the application context, with true risk validation and issue prioritization. This accelerates testing, improves process efficiency and efficacy, and cuts down on vulnerability backlogs.
Intelligent Orchestration enables teams to define their application security policies as code, and then uses those policies to evaluate code changes and other SDLC events to trigger appropriate security tests. This enables teams to perform only the tests that are needed, when they are needed, at the depth they are needed.
Intelligent Orchestration uses API calls to support extensible DevOps integrations, including AppSec tools and services as well as third-party commercial and open source tools. It also provides key integration support for GitHub Actions, industry-standard source code management systems, continuous integration build servers, issue trackers, and dashboarding systems. It supports on-premises deployment and can also be hosted on AWS and Microsoft Azure cloud pipelines.
Code Sight integrates security testing for source code and open source components directly into developers’ IDEs, so they can find and fix security defects without switching tools or disrupting their workflow. With Code Sight, developers can view detailed fix recommendations at the package and line-of-code level, removing the guesswork from remediation and elevating developers’ security skillset.
As a security program evolves over time, DevSecOps initiatives may find that multiple tools are detecting the same risks in the same applications. This can result in wasted time and money and can generate conflicting results. Code Dx correlates and deduplicates results so your teams can focus on fixing the most important risks first, across projects and without wasted effort spent on reviewing noisy results.
Code Dx establishes a system of record for all application vulnerabilities, regardless of the testing tool or security vendor that identified them. This makes it possible to locate key vulnerabilities based on specific criteria and get a centralized view of your risk posture. And it enables an evaluation of the effectiveness of your AppSec program.
Key steps to organizing a DevSecOps program include defining security testing policies up front so critical security steps can be automated; establishing intelligent security orchestration for each test type at various stages of the SDLC and CI/CD pipelines; adding security testing and remediation in the IDE so developers can find and fix issues as they write code; and collocating, correlating, and managing risk data to enable effective risk prioritization and remediation.
