"Incorporating Fortify's security products into its open source IT management software tools, gives Hyperic a competitive edge in the market." The Fortify Source Code Analysis Suite enables companies to identify, track and fix security vulnerabilities in software code before software is deployed, mitigating the overall risk of dangerous security breaches. As the industry's only cross-tier source code security analysis product, it can follow data paths in pursuit of security vulnerabilities across tiers, regardless of programming language. Fortify Source Code Analysis has been built into Hyperic's software development process, ensuring that all existing and future Hyperic users will have access to industry-leading security across the stack as part of their IT management solution.
