OpenText Takes Code Security to the Next Level with Innovative use of Machine LearningSecurity by design is a proactive approach to the ever-changing threat landscape – learn more at the inaugural OpenText Security Summit 2024 on February 6 WATERLOO, ON, Feb. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenText™ (NASDAQ: OTEX), (TSX: OTEX), 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 and address these issues by utilizing machine learning to learn from Fortify's human auditors. "The first generation of Fortify Audit Assistant was well ahead of its time with its use of predictive analytics and machine learning," said Prentiss Donohue, Cybersecurity Executive Vice President. "Those pioneering efforts paved the way for us to derive 10 years of data from human experts and turn them into predictive models that are significantly more accurate compared to the previous generation's models, improving efficacy in auditing by reducing false positives up to 90%. Enterprises can now leverage this depth of information—something no one else in the industry can provide—within their own software assurance programs." Major updates to the next generation of Fortify Audit Assistant include:
