HP, fortify to join the application vulnerability test

"The United States 1105 Group to provide a bit network" experts said that fortify and Hewlett-Packard recently signed an agreement, indicating the arrival of a new approach to detect vulnerabilities. Hewlett-Packard recently signed a partnership agreement with Application Security inspection and hardening specialist fortify. At first glance, HP-Fortify's partnership agreement is no different from any other partnership.　　However, according to industry experts, the significance of this is significant. Fortify agreed to integrate its fortify 360 static application Security test (SAST) software with HP's application Safety Center and Quality Center products.　　Gartner analysts believe fortify and HP's new Development Application Security detection protocol will be particularly popular as it heralds a new approach-the integration of SAST and dynamic integrated Application Security testing (Dast), and vulnerability detection. "Sast and dynamic application security testing techniques are complementary." "analyst Joseph Feiman and Neil MacDonald wrote in the Gartner study. "There is a greater vision for vendors to integrate static and dynamic testing to increase the coverage and accuracy of the application lifecycle, increase vulnerability detection, and thus better serve the needs of the enterprise's security strategy." "Of course, this agreement is also mutually beneficial to both sides of the partnership." Fortify is the leader of the Sast market, but has not yet officially launched Sast products.　　Hewlett-Packard is the leader in the Dast market, although it is trying to develop its SAST (Feiman and MacDonald specifically mention HP's DevInspect SAST), but it has not introduced dast products.　　This is a drawback that HP needs to make up for, if not through a partnership or acquisition, and if they are ambitious to develop in the field of application security testing, begin to compete head-on with IBM. "A solution to HP's desire to become a leader in Sast and application security markets is to acquire sast leading suppliers such as fortify. "Feiman and MacDonald confirmed that the new cooperation agreement helped HP achieve the same goal.　　On the other hand, they point out that partnerships do not mean that HP does not take direct takeovers. "This partnership is not exclusive and two suppliers will continue to sell their separate products." Their development and sales teams will start working together to focus on the upcoming integrated Product services. Prior to this, both suppliers will not resell each other's products.　　"they wrote. Feiman and MacDonald see this partnership as a key win because it helps HP compete with IBM in the fields of computers and services with Dast and Sast technology. "Joint pushThe solution should give HP a strong competitive advantage over IBM, which, after all, has the leading Dast technology and has developed its own SAST technology in the application of security.
