What is OpenText Static Application Security Testing?

Traditional SAST tools often require tuning and expertise, overwhelming teams with false positives. Others are easy to use, but miss vulnerabilities. OpenText™ Static Application Security Testing (Fortify) (SAST) enables DevSecOps with precise vulnerability detection, broad language support, and seamless CI/CD integration. AI-driven insights help developers prioritize and resolve vulnerabilities efficiently, reducing security risk across the SDLC.
