Case Study: NEC Corporation achieves improved application security and a 30% reduction in manual testing with OpenText Core Application Security (Fortify)

This customer spotlight highlights how NEC cut manual testing by 30%

NEC Corporation, a large IT organization in Japan, faced the need to meet regulatory compliance, catch security flaws early in development, and reduce time-consuming manual testing while improving developer security awareness and application security management.

To address this, NEC deployed OpenText Core Application Security (Fortify) — including Fortify On Demand and Aviator — integrated into their DevSecOps toolchain to automate SAST/DAST/SCA and provide AI-powered auditing. NEC reports a 30% cut in manual testing, ~50% reductions in false positives, time to ensure compliance, and critical vulnerabilities, plus a 25% reduction in security backlog, better developer education, improved collaboration, and stronger visibility into application risk.
