We are excited to announce our strategic partnership with Secure Code Warrior (SCW), a leader in developer-focused security training. This integration will equip developers in real time with the skills needed to efficiently identify and fix vulnerabilities, empowering your organization to transform its security posture. By combining OpenText Fortify’s industry-leading static application security testing (SAST) with SCW’s agile learning platform, we are set to create a powerful solution that enhances both security and developer productivity. 

Security that Starts Left 

The integration of Secure Code Warrior into our OpenText Fortify suite represents a valuable enhancement to our “shift left” initiatives. By embedding secure coding practices throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC), we aim to reduce vulnerabilities and deliver secure applications faster. 

With this partnership, organizations can: 

  • Transform SAST Findings into Tailored Learning: Leverage Fortify’s static application security testing (SAST) insights to deliver customized, interactive, and agile secure coding training. 
  • Upskill Developers in Real-Time: Empower developers to tackle vulnerabilities efficiently through hands-on, real-time training tailored to their specific coding habits. 
  • Accelerate Remediation: Combine Fortify’s AI-driven code analysis with Secure Code Warrior’s contextual guidance to resolve vulnerabilities quickly and effectively. 
  • Quantify Security Impact: Secure Code Warrior’s Trust Score offers a first-of-its-kind benchmark to measure your secure coding program’s impact, helping you compare performance against industry peers. 

Turn Security into a Competitive Advantage 

Application security is no longer just about compliance—it’s a key business enabler. Our joint solution helps organizations reduce their risk, enhance developer productivity, and build trust with customers by ensuring secure, reliable software delivery. 

Some of the benefits of this collaboration include: 

  • Significant Risk Reduction: Research shows organizations that adopt Secure Code Warrior’s training can cut vulnerabilities by up to 53%, reinforcing a “Secure-by-Design” mindset. 
  • Productivity Gains: Upskilled developers spend less time fixing vulnerabilities, allowing them to focus on innovation. Companies report productivity gains of 2x to 3x with continuous secure coding enablement. 
  • Continuous Improvement: Secure Code Warrior’s unique Trust Score provides data-driven insights, enabling organizations to track progress, optimize security programs, and enforce secure coding policies. 
  • Cost Savings: Organizations can significantly reduce the costs and efforts associated with tracking down and remediating preventable security flaws, enabling faster delivery of quality code that fuels business growth.  
  • Proactive Compliance: By integrating industry standards and regulations—such as NIST, PCI-DSS, OWASP Top 10, and ISO 27001—into the development lifecycle, organizations can streamline audits and alleviate the compliance burden, ensuring alignment with critical security frameworks. 

Secure-First Culture 

With the integration of OpenText Fortify and Secure Code Warrior, organizations can implement a continuous upskill program that empowers every developer to acquire the skills necessary to write secure code. This not only improves security outcomes but also enhances employee satisfaction and retention by fostering a culture of learning and growth. 

Secure-by-Design 

In today’s fast-paced development landscape, security must be embedded in every line of code. Our partnership with Secure Code Warrior empowers developers to take ownership of application security, transforming vulnerabilities into opportunities for growth and innovation. 

We’re excited to help organizations turn their security programs into a strategic advantage.
