Electronic design automation (EDA) giant Synopsys Inc. has launched an application security posture management (ASPM) platform aimed at simplifying and streamlining application security testing across projects, teams and application security testing (AST) tools.
Called Synopsys Software Risk Manager, the platform’s goal is to enhance engineer’s ability to implement applications security consistently across any organization.
According to market research firm Gartner, more than 40% of organizations developing proprietary applications will adopt ASPM by 2026 to help identify and resolve application security issues. Gartner added that ASPM helps analyze security signals across software development, deployment and operations to improve visibility, better manage vulnerability and enforce controls.
The Software Risk Manager platform is built on Synopsys’ Code Dx and intelligent Orchestration products. This enables engineers to:
- Implement policy driven AppSec at scale.
- Unify user experience across disparate application security testing tools.
- Consolidate vulnerability reporting and management across projects, teams and tools.
- Simplify AppSec integration and orchestration in development workflows.
- Optimize core application security testing with a single, unified solution.
