Case Study: Acxiom reduces application vulnerabilities and protects consumer data with OpenText Fortify Static Code Analyzer

Acxiom - Customer Case Study

Acxiom, a U.S.-based data technology company that provides enterprise analytics and targeted marketing services, needed to further harden its application security to protect sensitive consumer information. Because its business makes it an attractive target for attackers, Acxiom sought to add automated static source-code analysis to its existing security program to find vulnerabilities earlier in the development lifecycle.

Acxiom deployed Micro Focus Fortify Static Code Analyzer with Micro Focus Software Security Center and integrated scans into its Continuous Integrated Build Process so developers see results within 10–20 minutes. The solution revealed and helped remediate many issues before release, significantly reducing application vulnerabilities and risk, lowering remediation costs by catching defects early, improving developer secure-coding practices, and providing broad language coverage for both legacy and new applications.
