Fortify is a company with several products. Which product are you referring to? I've used some of thier products (and think highly of them), but I have not used all of them. What I like most about thier approach is they are trying to address all parts of the life cycle. The IDE plug-in enforces secure development at the point that code is written/changed. The scanner/workbench supports the build and audit processes. Other components work at runtime. Are they perfect? Honestly, I've not seen anything that is ever perfect. Are they good and getting better? I belive so. jt -----Original Message----- From: "McGovern, James F (HTSC, IT)" <James.McGovern at thehartford.com> To: <sc-l at securecoding.org> Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2006 16:50:17 -0400 Subject: [SC-L] Comparing Scanning Tools
The industry analyst take on tools tends to be slightly different than software practitioners at times. Curious if anyone has looked at Fortify and has formed any positive / negative / neutral opinions on this tool and others... *********************************************************************** ** This communication, including attachments, is for the exclusive use of addressee and may contain proprietary, confidential and/or privileged information.
