Synopsys Enables Secure App Development with Coverity Enhancements and Integrated Security Training Platform

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 12, 2018 — (PRNewswire) —   Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced the availability of several new product features that enable developers to build secure applications faster. The latest Coverity® release, recognized by Gartner and Forrester as a leading static application security testing (SAST) tool, features seamless integration with Synopsys' completely rebuilt eLearning platform, an on-demand security training solution for developers. The integration provides developers with convenient access—directly from the Coverity interface—to short, context-relevant training modules to help them address security issues Coverity detects in their code. The Coverity release also includes security analysis enhancements for detecting more vulnerabilities across a variety of programming languages and frameworks, including the ability to identify code patterns vulnerable to the highly publicized Spectre attacks

"As more organizations adopt rapid and iterative development methodologies, it is increasingly important to shift security left in the development process," said Andreas Kuehlmann, senior vice president and general manager of Synopsys Software Integrity Group. "That means equipping developers with the tools and training they need to take ownership of the security of their code. Finding and fixing vulnerabilities early and teaching developers to avoid security missteps in the first place results in more secure code, and it also prevents costly rework and unnecessary delays."

Coverity integration with new eLearning platform

Synopsys eLearning is an outcome-driven, learner-centric training solution that makes application security education easy, relevant, and accessible. Users have on-demand access to an immersive, continuous learning ecosystem that unifies security expertise, instructional design, and storytelling into an intuitive platform.
