Synopsys Application Security offers tools to remediate a broad number of vulnerabilities and quality issues compromising your software. It can rapidly find flaws and security weaknesses in the codebase so you can remove them and improve the workflow. The available tools address a separate issue and are built with the capability to solve that particular problem. One such module is Static analysis security testing (SAST), which reveals bugs and quality defects in the source code during development to help developers write a cleaner code without affecting their efficiency.
Besides SAST, the Software composition analysis (SCA) protects and administers open-source threats in any kind of application. It is divided into several sub-features of Dependency Analysis, Codeprint Analysis, Binary Analysis, and Snippet Analysis. Dependency Analysis caters to Java and C# applications by operating alongside build tools such as Gradle and Maven to find the type of dependency present in the application. In comparison, Codeprint Analysis communicates source code data to the Black Duck knowledgebase to recognize the kind of components in software developed using C++ and C.
Binary Analysis is utilized to indicate open-source embedded in a compiled library/executable. Lastly, Snippet Analysis reveals chunks of code that have been replicated within proprietary code, which might subject your product to strict punishment.
