Micro Focus Fortify SSC Plugin
Strengthen your secure software development life cycle (SDLC) by integrating Sonatype Lifecycle with Micro Focus Fortify Software Security Center (SSC). This integration streamlines application security by automatically enriching Fortify SSC with open source risk data from Sonatype’s software composition analysis (SCA) tools.
Works With: 
Automate Open Source Risk Auditing in Fortify SSC
With the Sonatype for Fortify SSC integration, Sonatype Lifecycle continuously feeds vulnerability, license, and policy violation data from open source components into Fortify SSC’s centralized management console.
This integration ensures your application security teams have full visibility into all forms of software risk, from proprietary code flaws to vulnerable open source libraries, within a single Fortify SSC workflow. By combining the open source governance of Sonatype Lifecycle with the centralized policy management and reporting of Micro Focus Fortify SSC, your teams can:
- Gain a unified view of software risk across proprietary and third-party code.
- Reduce manual effort by automatically synchronizing component-level intelligence.
- Prioritize remediation by combining code and dependency insights.
- Maintain audit trails for compliance and regulatory reporting.
- Shift security left with consistent policy enforcement during development.
