Our recent webinar, "Simplifying SDLC Security Testing with Fortify and Spira," offered a deep dive into integrating robust security practices within your software development lifecycle. Experts from Inflectra and Merito explored how to bridge the gap between development and security teams using Fortify's powerful static application security testing (SAST) capabilities and Spira's comprehensive SDLC management platform. This recap highlights key takeaways and practical demonstrations for those seeking to enhance their DevSecOps strategy, whether new to SAST or looking to optimize existing processes.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Breaking Down Silos: Traditional software development often suffers from a disconnect between development and security teams. By integrating Spira, a comprehensive SDLC management platform, with Fortify, a powerful SAST solution, you can bridge this gap and foster collaboration. This leads to earlier detection of vulnerabilities, faster remediation, and a more secure development process.
- The Power of Automation: The webinar showcased how to automate security testing within your CI/CD pipeline using Fortify's source code analyzer. This automation not only saves time and resources but also ensures consistent security checks with every code commit.
- Traceability and Visibility: Spira provides a single pane of glass for managing all aspects of your SDLC, including security testing. With its powerful traceability features, you can link security incidents directly to your source code, user stories, and requirements, making it easier to understand the impact and prioritize fixes.
- Education is Key: Effective security testing requires a well-informed development team. The webinar highlighted the importance of educating developers on secure coding practices and providing them with the tools and knowledge they need to build secure software from the ground up.
