Synopsys Announces First Application Security Testing Solution to Analyze Both Open Source and Proprietary Code on the Developer's Desktop

New Polaris capabilities combine SCA and SAST in the IDE, enabling developers to proactively find and fix security risks across third-party and custom components

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 12, 2020 — (PRNewswire) — Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced that on Feb. 18 it will release a major update to the Polaris Software Integrity Platform to extend its static application security testing (SAST) and software composition analysis (SCA) capabilities to the developer's desktop through the native integration of the Code Sight IDE plugin. These capabilities, the first of their kind, will enable developers to proactively find and fix both security weaknesses in proprietary code and known vulnerabilities in open source dependencies simultaneously, without leaving their interactive development environment (IDE).

Synopsys will showcase these new capabilities at RSA Conference 2020, Booth S-1135, in San Francisco on Feb. 24–28. To receive a complimentary RSA Expo Pass, register using code XS0USYNOP.

"In modern development environments, security testing needs to integrate seamlessly into the developer's workflow, but it also needs to cover both proprietary and third-party code," said Simon King, vice president of solutions at the Synopsys Software Integrity Group. "By providing real-time SAST and now SCA results together in the IDE, Synopsys enables developers to detect security defects in both their own code and the open source components they leverage – as they build their applications. Developers can fix problems in real time, avoiding the risks and loss of productivity when issues are allowed to go undetected for days, weeks, or even months after they've moved on to other tasks. With this release, the native integration of the Code Sight IDE plugin enables developers to build secure, high-quality software faster."
