What is it?

AI coding assistants are transforming how organizations develop, test and secure software. With over 1 billion new applications expected by 2028, integrating security into the DevOps process has never been more critical. DevSecOps automation allows organizations to maintain quality and security at speed by embedding security checks, vulnerability assessments and code analysis directly into the development pipeline. 

Why should you care?

As release cycles accelerate, security risks grow. Between 2022 and 2023, security breaches increased by 21%, reported software supply chain attacks surged by 241% and 64% of organizations were affected by open-source vulnerabilities. AI-driven DevSecOps mitigates these risks by:

• Automating repetitive security checks to free up developers
• Minimizing manual intervention to reduce human error
• Increasing collaboration between development and security teams to promote security by design

How does it work?

AI-powered DevSecOps integrates security automation into every stage of the software development lifecycle. Tools like OpenText Core Application Security (Fortify) automatically assess code quality, identify vulnerabilities and enforce security policies within the DevOps pipeline. By embedding security into the workflow, developers can focus on delivering high-quality applications without slowing down development. 

• Automated security checks: Reduce manual effort and improve accuracy
• Continuous code analysis: Identify vulnerabilities early in the development process 
• Collaborative risk management: Developers and security teams share a unified view of security posture

Differentiation in market

Many organizations struggle with maintaining security at the speed of DevOps, leading to delayed releases, increased attack surfaces and operational inefficiencies. OpenText Core Application Security (Fortify) differentiates itself by:

• Delivering scalable, AI-powered security analysis that evolves with development needs
• Offering deep integration across CI/CD pipelines to ensure seamless security enforcement
• Minimizing false positives to reduce noise and prioritize real threats

Competitors often focus on either speed or security, but OpenText Core Application Security (Fortify) enables organizations to balance both, empowering DevOps teams to innovate without compromising security. 

How to position it
