Fortify SCA 4.0, released in October 2006, is the most widely used and
effective solution to find and fix software vulnerabilities at the root
cause early in the development cycle. Its advanced features help developers
identify and resolve issues with less effort, while enabling security leads
to review and prioritize more code in less time. Fortify SCA supports a
wide variety of languages, frameworks and operating systems and delivers
depth and accuracy in its results. It can be tuned to be comprehensive when
completeness is needed or extremely targeted for day-to-day use. Fortify
SCA makes triage, audits and remediation fast and effective for any
organization.
Fortify Defender, released in 2006, is a unique software solution that

security-critical functions and application programming interfaces (APIs)
inside the Web application itself. This "internal firewall" approach offers

and more.
