  • A software assurance analytics tool that visualizes and correlates vulnerabilities detected by disparate code

    analysis tools. With Code Dx you can rapidly triage and focus on the software vulnerabilities that are most

    important to your organization.

    More than 90% of computer security incidents can be traced back to weaknesses in software that were inadvertently put there when the code was developed. Attackers can find and exploit such weaknesses in your applications. Before you release another application, you need to assess whether its code weakness-es can jeopardize your business. Static application security testing (SAST) tools find those exploitable weaknesses, so they can’t become vulnerabilities, and Code Dx makes those tools more effective.

    “[Code Dx] has a unique and helpful view of the analysis of the tool output. I like the information provided at the top that allows me to select which tool to use, codebase location, CWE findings, severity, overlap-ping location count, and status of all of the weaknesses. The Weakness Flow diagram shows a helpful view of where the weak-nesses came from, which tool was able to detect them, and the severity of the weakness.”
