Case Study: Celfocus achieves enhanced application security and developer confidence with OpenText Core Application Security (Fortify)

Celfocus boosts app security and compliance with OpenText, as verified by UserEvidence

Celfocus, a Portugal-based industrials company with over 1,000 employees, faced challenges securing large, complex codebases while maintaining visibility and meeting compliance requirements. They needed earlier detection of vulnerabilities, fewer false positives, and tighter integration of security into the SDLC to boost developer confidence and delivery outcomes.

Celfocus deployed OpenText Core Application Security (Fortify) — leveraging SAST/DAST/MAST/SCA, DevSecOps integration, and Fortify Aviator’s AI-powered suggestions — to automate analysis, reduce noise, and improve developer security awareness. The result was faster SAST remediation, better collaboration between security and development, improved compliance, a 25% reduction in false positives and a 25% faster time to produce compliance reports, increasing developer trust and overall application security.
