Case Study: Aaron’s achieves accelerated go-to-market and stronger application security with OpenText (Fortify on Demand and WebInspect)

Aaron’s - Customer Case Study

Aaron’s, a leading U.S. specialty retailer with more than 2,100 stores, runs an agile in-house software development program to quickly deliver customer-facing applications. While using WebInspect for dynamic testing and regular penetration tests, the company found that DAST alone didn’t catch issues early enough and needed reliable static analysis to reduce vulnerabilities, protect customer data, and meet industry standards.

After a proof of concept, Aaron’s adopted Micro Focus Fortify on Demand for SAST alongside WebInspect for DAST; Fortify delivered low false positives, clear code-level findings, and an intuitive UI for developers. The combined approach shortened development cycles by an estimated one to two weeks, reduced remediation effort and vulnerabilities, improved site performance and coding practices, lowered costs, and provided reporting to support compliance.
