OpenText™ today announced the second generation of its advanced cybersecurity auditing technology debuting at the inaugural OpenText Security Summit 2024 on February 6. Today’s developers are dealing with more complexity and threats in multi-cloud environments. Security teams feel increasing pressure to tackle application security with more sophisticated tools and practices. Fortify Audit Assistant is OpenText’s solution for incorporating security at the very beginning of the software development lifecycle—at code inception—and building robust, secure, and reliable software systems.Fortify Audit Assistant levels up the accuracy and performance, increasing developer efficiency by reducing noise and false positives. In doing so, security teams can focus on the vulnerabilities that matter most. Triaging and validating raw static analysis results is one of the most time-intensive, manual processes within application security testing. Companies can’t afford to hire a team of human examiner experts in software engineering, computer science, and software vulnerabilities. Fortify Audit Assistant was created to automate security
