Key Capabilities / Features

Features:
- Polaris fAST Static
fAST Static allows organizations to perform automated static analysis of all codebases, making it easy for developers and testers to find potential security flaws in their code early in the software development life cycle (SDLC).


- Polaris fAST SCA
Polaris fAST SCA allows organizations to automate software composition analysis across the SDLC, providing a complete Bill of Materials (BOM) of nonvulnerable and vulnerable open-source components, including licenses used, dependency trees, and origins, as well as upgrade guidance.


- Polaris fAST Dynamic
Polaris fAST Dynamic allows organizations to run quick, self-service DAST analysis of modern web applications without slowing development down. No complex configuration or setup required. Automate and scale testing of hundreds of websites easily with built-in settings to choose from.


Key Capabilities include:


Flexibility.
The on-demand, integrated AppSec platform makes it easy to provision, manage, and monitor enterprise-wide scanning and assessments 24x7.


Scalability.
Scale application security cost-effectively. Whether your organization requires testing for a single application or thousands, Polaris delivers a unified SaaS platform to meet your needs.


Ease of use.
Easy onboarding, deployment, and testing from a single unified platform. Seamless integration with existing developer, test automation, and CI/CD workflows.


Concurrent scanning.
Unlimited, concurrent scanning improves performance by allowing teams to run SAST, DAST and SCA analysis at the same time.


Accurate findings.
Synopsys market-leading SCA, SAST, and DAST engines provide complete and highly accurate results. Expert analysis and triage for SAST results is also available to further improve results by identifying and removing false positive findings.


Enterprise visibility.
Polaris dashboards and reports give you a view of vulnerabilities and trends across all your teams and applications.


How we are different

-Security at speed.
Most cloud-based AST systems perform well for static application security testing (SAST), dynamic applications security testing (DAST) or software composition analysis (SCA).
The Polaris platform does them all. Polaris fAST Static, Polaris fAST Dynamic and Polaris fAST SCA services are built on the same powerful analysis engines at the core of Synopsys market-leading Coverity®, WhiteHat Dynamic and Black Duck® products, and are integrated and delivered from the cloud via the latest version of the Polaris platform.


- Fast, flexible security anyone can use.
The Polaris platform gives organization access to AppSec testing with all the benefits of cloud-based security as a service. Polaris fAST Static, Polaris fAST Dynamic and Polaris fAST SCA are features of the Polaris platform that offer a cost-effective way for organizations to access best-in-class AST tools without having to purchase and maintain expensive hardware and software installations in-house.


-DAST built for modern applications.
Initiating and executing security tests with Polaris fAST Dynamic is as straightforward as entering a URL and clicking ‘start’. Unlike other DAST solutions, fAST Dynamic is specifically designed to handle the complexities and dynamics of modern web applications. Furthermore, using fAST Dynamic requires little to no prior knowledge of DAST testing to conduct scans.


- Access vulnerability trends, monitoring security health, and test security status.
With detailed test metrics, logs, policy management, expert triage services, and more, the Polaris platform helps security teams fine-tune test coverage to increase the accuracy of your findings.
