DevSecOps

The Polaris Software Integrity Platform is cloud-based and optimized to minimize costs for DevSecOps. There is no hardware to deploy or software to update, and no limits on team size or scan frequency. Onboard users and applications quickly across your entire organization while leveraging elastic capacity and concurrent scanning across projects and scan types.

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. The Polaris Software Integrity Platform provides the flexibility to run the most appropriate analysis engine at the best possible stage in the pipeline based on application, project, schedule, or SDLC events.

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.

Synopsys solutions for application security testing integrate across DevOps workflows and CI/CD pipelines. Trigger scan events, automate prioritization and triage based on policy, and accelerate remediation for more efficient, effective DevSecOps that eliminates vulnerability backlogs. For cloud-based security as a service, the Polaris Software Integrity Platform can easily connect to SCM and CI tools to perform scheduled or triggered scans of proprietary code, open source, and third-party dependencies.

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. Software Risk Manager 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.

Software Risk Manager 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.
