What is Synopsys AI Security?

Synopsys AI Security is an application security platform designed for enterprise development teams. It combines three core testing approaches: Static Application Security Testing (SAST) for code analysis, Software Composition Analysis (SCA) for open source vulnerability detection, and Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) for runtime testing. The platform uses AI to improve accuracy and reduce false positives across these testing methods. It's aimed at organisations that need to identify and fix security vulnerabilities throughout the software development lifecycle, from code creation through deployment. Synopsys positions this as a tool for teams building secure software at scale, with particular focus on enterprises managing complex codebases and supply chain risks.
