2021-04-09 00:45

GrammaTech announced a new version of its CodeSonar SAST product that helps developers build safer and more secure code without disrupting workflows.

CodeSonar 6.0 features visualization and analysis enhancements, GitLab integration as well as additional language and compiler support requested by 500 plus GrammaTech customers to support their transition to DevSecOps practices.

"The design approach should include basic coding standards that help developers avoid building apps with exploitable bugs and operational vulnerabilities," said Steve Lipner, executive director of SAFECode, a global nonprofit organization that brings business leaders and technical experts together to exchange insights and ideas on creating, improving and promoting scalable and effective software security programs.

New capabilities in CodeSonar 6.0 make it easier for developers to avoid security and safety defects by automating the detection of problems and identifying best practice violations within their development environments.

Providing SAST embedded in continuous integration/continuous delivery pipelines is a critical component for shifting left and baking security into DevOps workflows.

"Reflecting the market in general, our customers are moving from post-build testing to making security an integral part of their development processes," said Vince Arneja, Chief Product Officer for GrammaTech.
