Seeker Application Security Testing Software

Security testing ensures that systems and applications in an organization are free from any vulnerability or threats. It also helps in detecting all possible security risks in the system and fixing them before any software is launched or deployed.

Seeker from Synopsys is a leading application security testing software that easily integrates with an organization's existing software testing processes. Seeker enables developers to efficiently develop secure applications.

Development teams can use Seeker to search and rectify exploitable security vulnerabilities across multi-tier web applications by integrating dynamic testing and runtime code analysis into the existing development life cycle with no false positives. It also guides developers about how to fix an issue, even if they are not experts in software security.

Key Features of Synopsys Seeker
Accuracy

Synopsys Seeker’s unique technology analyzes and correlates end-to-end flow of data and run-time code execution with simulated attacks. Seeker analyzes the code as it runs, line by line, in response to simulated attacks, as well as the interaction of the code with your sensitive data, across all application tiers and components. Using this technology Seeker is able to identify vulnerabilities that pose a real threat to critical data, including complex vulnerabilities and logical flaws not detectable by any other technology.

For even greater accuracy, Seeker simulates actual exploits on the application, thereby verifying results, eliminating false positives, and determining the impact and business risk of each vulnerability.

Clarity

Seeker’s “What You See is What You Need to Fix” approach eliminates false positives, ranking vulnerabilities by their impact and provides developers only with relevant results. The results provided by Seeker contain all the information necessary to fix the problem, including a clear explanation of the risk, a technical description, the vulnerable lines of code and relevant, context-based remediation instructions. In addition, Seeker’s visual approach makes it easier to understand the problem and the risk, and includes videos demonstrating the actual attack on the tested application.

Simplicity

Seeker brings simplicity into the SDLC, delivering immediate results with little effort. Seeker’s innovative technology lies behind a simple, intuitive user interface, requiring no security expertise to operate and allowing users with no security background to quickly and easily run tests and receive focused, easy to understand results.
