The primary use case for Fortify On Demand in our environment revolves around its critical role in sales and desk operations. It helps identify application vulnerabilities from both a source code and web perspective. It directly detects issues such as SQL injection in the source code. It conducts website scans with customizable configurations to examine potential risks and vulnerabilities, which is crucial during software development. We can avoid risks before moving to the production stage.

Whenever we have a new application we scan it using Micro Focus Fortify on Demand. We then receive a service connection from Azure DevOps to Micro Focus Fortify on Demand and the information from the application tested.

We are using Micro Focus Fortify on Demand in two ways in most of our processes. We are either using it from our DevOps pipeline using Azure DevOps or the teams which are not yet onboarded in Azure DevOps, are running it manually by putting in the code then sending it to the security team where they will scan it.

We use two solutions for our application testing. We use SonarQube for next-level unit testing and code quality and Micro Focus Fortify on Demand mostly for vulnerabilities and security concerns.

I have used Fortify on Demand for security scanning, along with outsourcing to companies that scan our systems and report vulnerabilities. My work has involved securing our APIs and systems.

We use Fortify across all stages of the environment: development, test, and production. We even use it for disaster recovery.

Whenever we deploy our Jenkins pipelines, the system automatically scans our Git repository to fix security vulnerabilities. All the security vulnerabilities are then created as tasks in Jira, so we can fix them as quickly as possible.

I use the solution to check the software, as the development is done internally, to detect any security breaches. If there is something in the code that could lead to SQL injections or other vulnerabilities, it will be detected.

Our use case of Fortify is for the more than 200 applications that we need to certify as a security team. We certify them for all possible vulnerabilities using Micro Focus to check codes for vulnerabilities and then deploying to a reproduction environment. Once all the vulnerabilities are fixed, we can proceed to production. So we're using it as a kind of DevSecOps model. We are customers of Micro Focus.

Vice President - Solution Architecture at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

We are using Fortify on Demand as a static code analyzer. As it scans each application, it checks each line of code. When we are developing mobile applications there might be some kind of security vulnerability. One example is a check to see if information that is being transferred is not encrypted because this would be vulnerable to hackers who are trying to break into the system. We also look at whether were are using the network transport layer security.

Our overall goal at this time is to protect our mobile app because it is one of the ways that hackers can break into the system.

We use it for externally exposed applications that we want to scan before releasing them to production. As you can imagine, it's important to make sure they're secure and that we will not be exposed. For internal apps, we use other static code scanning, primarily SonarQube. But Fortify on Demand is for externally exposed applications.

Senior System Analyst at Azurian

We create technology solutions for clients and on one project we were requested to use Fortify on Demand after the client had read a good report about it. They sent us the report and recommended its use.

In this case, we were using Java to program the client's solution and so we used Fortify on Demand alongside our Java development operations, for the purpose of improving the application's security.

The work we were doing for the client involved creating a billing system that they would use to manage payments and taxes for other companies in Chile. We've only used Fortify on Demand for this one client so far. 

Because Fortify on Demand was so new to us, we decided to go with the trial version first and figure out the costing at a later stage.

Principal Solutions Architect at a security firm with 11-50 employees

Our clients use it for scanning their applications and evaluating their application security. It is mostly for getting the application security results in, and then they push the vulnerabilities to their development team on an issue tracker such as Jira.

I usually have the latest version unless I need to support something on an older version for a client. We're not really deploying any of these solutions except for kind of testing and replicating the situations that our clients get into.

Sr. Enterprise Architect at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

I have been using this solution to gain some perspective from different architectures for the security team. I do not use it every day. I do have an overview and it is integrated with our development platform.

I do work for our governance team, so whenever a project is coming I will review products. I need to connect with the project managers for testing them, and these tests include the vulnerability assessment along with other security efforts. One of the things that I suggest is using Micro Focus Fortify on Demand.

The primary use case is core scanning for different vulnerabilities, based on standards. It beings with an architect who designs a model on a security-risk advisor platform. Then you have an idea of what the obstacles are. Once the code is scanned according to standards, you figure out where the gaps are. The team then suggests what needs to be done to the code to fix the vulnerabilities. The process repeats after the code is fixed until all of the vulnerabilities have been eliminated.

When you take all of these things together, it is Security by design.

When choosing a software security product, we expect the product not only has the ability to find exploits, but also has educational and instructional capabilities related to exploits. This makes both the security auditor's job easier and helps the software developer to improve himself and write safer code. Here we have seen that the Micro Focus family has exactly what we want. For this reason, we chose Micro Focus software security products. In addition, the quality of the support and updating services ensures that we gain confidence in their products.
