NowSecure is known for their expertise in mobile security and privacy, while Secure Code Warrior provides an agile learning platform for developer-driven security.

Through this new collaboration, Synopsys is launching two new application security solutions, which include Synopsys Mobile Application Security Testing, which is powered by NowSecure, and Synopsys Developer Security Training, powered by Secure Code Warrior. Both products are currently available globally.

“Partnering with two of the most prominent leaders in their respective areas of cybersecurity allows Synopsys’ global roster of customers to stay ahead of the continually evolving threat landscape,” said Jason Schmitt, general manager of the Synopsys Software Integrity Group. “The NowSecure automated mobile capabilities seamlessly complement Synopsys’ industry-leading managed services in mobile application security testing to provide an unparalleled level of coverage and scalability. Additionally, reducing software risk must begin at the developer desktop, and Secure Code Warrior’s developer-centric approach to security training has proven to be effective in embedding secure coding principles into an organisation’s development culture.”

Synopsys NowSecure collaboration

The Synopsys Software Integrity Group has partnered with NowSecure to develop an automated continuous mobile application security testing (MAST) solution. This solution is specifically designed to secure the complex infrastructure of the modern mobile software development lifecycle (SDLC).

The new offering complements Synopsys’ managed MAST services by providing comprehensive testing coverage through fast, automated, and language-agnostic static, dynamic, interactive, and API security testing of Android and iOS binaries. MAST enables development and security teams to analyze the components of a mobile application, such as open-source components, third-party SDKs, and transitive dependencies. It also facilitates the implementation of automated security testing based on standards in CI/CD pipelines.

“We are excited to join Synopsys to deliver the most complete application security solution suite in the industry,” said Alan Snyder, CEO of NowSecure. “Mobile apps now dominate the global economy and have become the primary engagement and revenue platform for nearly every business, agency and organisation around the world. As a mobile-first, mobile-only company for more than a decade, we help enterprises secure and protect millions of mobile users. Today our partnership with Synopsys will make it easier for organisations to cover all aspects of application security.”
