Platform Positioning
Unified Zero Trust CNAPP with ASPM, covering application, cloud, Kubernetes/container, workload runtime, API, AI and compliance security from code to runtime.Ref: https://accuknox.com/platform/aspm
Enterprise AppSec platform centered on SAST, DAST, SCA, ASPM and AppSec-as-a-Service. Broader CNAPP/CWPP runtime enforcement is outside the Fortify AppSec portfolio.
ASPM Coverage & Correlation
Centralizes SAST, SCA, DAST, IaC, secrets, container and runtime signals, with code-to-cloud posture and runtime visibility.Ref: https://accuknox.com/platform/aspm
ASPM aggregates and correlates SAST, DAST, SCA, IaC and other AppSec findings with contextual enrichment, deduplication and customizable risk scoring.
Deployment Flexibility
SaaS, on-premises, air-gapped and hybrid deployment are publicly positioned for AccuKnox.
Fortify SAST/DAST support SaaS, hosted/off-cloud and on-premises options; some services such as Core SCA/Fortify on Demand are cloud-delivered.
SAST
SAST scans application code early in the SDLC and integrates results with DAST, SCA and the wider ASPM workflow. AccuKnox also publishes AI-accelerated SAST scanning.Ref: https://accuknox.com/solutions/sast
Mature Fortify SAST with deep static analysis, CI/CD integration, centralized governance and AI-assisted auditing/remediation.
SAST Language & Framework Breadth
Supports multi-language SAST through AccuKnox ASPM scanning workflows; current public support is documented through AccuKnox scanner/integration guidance.Ref: https://help.accuknox.com/support-matrix/
Publishes multi languages.
Developer / IDE Experience
AccuKnox positions SAST for IDE and CI/CD stages and provides finding-level remediation guidance in the centralized platform.Ref: https://accuknox.com/solutions/sast
Strong IDE-native ecosystem including Visual Studio, IntelliJ, Eclipse/VS Code plus CI/CD and build-tool integrations.
SCA / Dependency Security
SCA identifies vulnerable or risky open-source components, license issues and transitive dependency risk, and brings results into the unified ASPM/CNAPP context.Ref: https://accuknox.com/solutions/software-composition-analysis
Fortify SCA continuously identifies vulnerabilities, license/compliance risk and project health, with automated policy controls and SBOM capabilities.
Open Source Intake Governance
SCA and CI/CD security can block risky dependencies before production, while AccuKnox runtime controls extend supply-chain protection after deployment.
Fortify Open Source Select evaluates 40M+ open-source projects using security, health and license policy before intake.
DAST
DAST supports automated web-application testing in CI/CD with multiple scan modes and centralized findings/remediation workflow.Ref: https://help.accuknox.com/how-to/dast-scan-types/
Fortify DAST simulates attacks against applications, APIs and services and supports CI/CD automation and scalable ScanCentral DAST.
Authenticated DAST / MFA
Authenticated DAST is supported for content behind login pages, with session-state validation to reduce false negatives.Ref: https://help.accuknox.com/how-to/dast-authenticated-scans/
WebInspect/Fortify DAST supports workflow macros and scanning in multi-factor authentication environments.
API Security Testing
API security is covered through DAST plus dedicated AccuKnox API Security for API discovery/posture and runtime-aware protection.Ref: https://accuknox.com/platform/api-security
API testing is supported through Fortify SAST/DAST, including SOAP, REST, OpenAPI/Swagger, Postman, GraphQL and gRPC.
IaC Security
Scans Terraform, Kubernetes YAML, Helm, Dockerfile, CloudFormation, Kustomize, Ansible, Bicep, ARM, AWS CDK and more, with drift detection in the broader platform.Ref: https://help.accuknox.com/support-matrix/iac/
Fortify SAST includes IaC scanning for Docker, Kubernetes, serverless and related infrastructure code.
Secrets Detection
Secret scanning is available across CI/CD workflows and the AccuKnox ASPM finding pipeline.Ref: https://help.accuknox.com/use-cases/aspm/
Fortify SAST documents detection of secrets in source code.
Container Image Security
Native container-image scanning in CI/CD and registries, with CVE/package context, SBOM generation and linkage to runtime/Kubernetes security.Ref: https://help.accuknox.com/integrations/github-container-scan/
OpenText ASPM can aggregate container-security findings, but Core SCA documentation states official Docker image support is not yet native and describes an SBOM-based workaround.
External Scanner Aggregation
Integrates third-party findings such as Checkmarx SAST, SCA, KICS and Container results into AccuKnox for centralized visualization and prioritization.Ref: https://help.accuknox.com/integrations/checkmarx/
OpenText ASPM is designed to aggregate data from different testing tools/ methodologies and normalize it into a centralized AppSec view.
Risk Prioritization
Context-driven prioritization combines AppSec findings with runtime/cloud context; AccuKnox also supports EPSS-based prioritization and centralized vulnerability management.Ref: https://help.accuknox.com/use-cases/aspm/
OpenText ASPM provides contextual enrichment, deduplication, customizable risk scoring, asset context and exploitability-based prioritization.
False Positive Management
ASPM reduces alert noise through false-alert filtering, grouping and risk prioritization; runtime context can further validate exposure.Ref: https://accuknox.com/platform/aspm
Strong false-positive controls through Audit Assistant ML, Fortify on Demand expert review and Remediation Aviator high-confidence suppression.
AI Remediation / Direct Auto-Fix
ASK AI provides LLM-generated explanation and patch suggestions on findings; public documentation does not currently describe validated automatic code write-back/apply.Ref: https://help.accuknox.com/integrations/jenkins-sast/
Fortify Remediation Aviator can generate and apply validated fixes to eligible SAST findings and provide contextual explanations.
AI Security Assistant Scope
AccuKnox AI Copilot provides platform guidance and security insights across CNAPP/ASPM/CWPP and related platform areas.Ref: https://accuknox.com/platform/ai-copilot
Fortify Remediation Aviator is purpose-built for SAST auditing/ remediation rather than a cross-platform CNAPP security assistant.
CI/CD Integration

SBOM export supports CycloneDX and SPDX 2.3; external SBOM analysis is documented for CycloneDX JSON/XML.
VEX / Reachability Triage
VEX-aligned CVE triage supports statuses such as False Positive, Accepted Risk and Mitigated.
CycloneDX SBOM output can include reachability results and Core SCA has vulnerability review states, but a dedicated VEX workflow is not documented.
xBOM (CBOM / AIBOM)
AccuKnox xBOM extends beyond SBOM with CBOM and AIBOM capabilities for broader software, cryptographic and AI supply-chain visibility.
No equivalent CBOM/AIBOM product capability is currently documented in the Fortify AppSec/SCA portfolio.
Runtime Context & Enforcement
Extends AppSec into runtime workloads with eBPF/LSM-based visibility and Zero Trust enforcement through the broader AccuKnox CNAPP/CWPP platform.Ref: https://accuknox.com/comparisons/accuknox-vs-semgrep
Fortify provides application testing and ASPM context, but does not provide an equivalent kernel-level CWPP runtime enforcement layer in the Fortify AppSec portfolio.
Mobile Application Security Testing (MAST)
No dedicated MAST product is currently documented in the public AccuKnox AppSec portfolio; mobile back-end/API exposure can still be assessed through DAST/API security.Ref: https://accuknox.com/solutions
Fortify on Demand explicitly offers MAST and supports mobile application assessments as part of its AppSec-as-a-Service portfolio.
Managed AppSec / Expert Testing
AccuKnox public AppSec positioning is primarily platform-led automated security testing rather than a productized managed AppSec assessment service.Ref: https://accuknox.com/platform/aspm
Fortify on Demand includes tailored expertise, security-expert review and AppSec-as-a-Service across SAST, DAST, SCA/MAST workflows.
Compliance & Reporting
ASPM reporting provides severity/trend dashboards and centralized reporting; the wider AccuKnox platform extends compliance across cloud, workload and AppSec controls.Ref: https://help.accuknox.com/use-cases/aspm-reports/
