Traverses the entire network, scanning every system to determine which ports are open

You can use the tool locally on your system or in the cloud. I rate it a nine out of ten. It's a very good tool for people who want to start using GitHubCode Scanning, especially for software development or team collaboration. GitHubCode Scanning allows teams to collaborate by uploading files to repositories. For example, if someone is developing an application, they can host the code on GitHub Code Scanning. Other developers can then download the code for testing purposes. If bugs are found, fixes can be applied using the GitHub Code Scanningrepository, and everyone on the team can see the changes. Software developers often use GitHub Code Scanning for version control, and it's essential for CI/CD pipelines to work.

A solution for static code review and Blackhawk testing.

We have automation capabilities with Parasoft Jtest integrated into our CI/CD pipeline. This allows us to provide suggestions for improving code quality within the CI/CD process, which developers find beneficial, similar to using Cisco products. Parasoft Jtest is more than just a tool for scanning code. It offers comprehensive automated testing capabilities. It automatically scans the code on the server and generates reports for developers and project managers. They can then review the findings remotely and collaborate on addressing any issues identified. Parasoft Jtest connects to OpenAI, suggesting how to fix the code. I recommend the solution. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
