The tool's most valuable feature is software composition analysis. This feature works well with my .NET applications, providing a better understanding of library vulnerabilities. Fortify Application Defender is a good tool for overall application security. However, in my specific case, another tool was more suitable. Regarding the vulnerability scanner feature, it aids in security assessments by conducting static analysis on my code application. It is easy to use and configure Fortify Application Defender. I configured it directly with my code repository, which I use GitLab for. Establishing the connection was straightforward. Additionally, configuring it in the CI/CD pipeline was very easy. I would recommend using it in this scenario for CI/CD. The solution is very fast for scanning and analyzing, particularly for static analysis and SCA analysis scans.
