Case Study: Major Financial Services Company achieves risk-based automated application security and reduced testing overhead with Synopsys Intelligent Orchestration

Intelligent Orchestration for Financial Services

A major Fortune 500 financial services firm managing over $2 trillion in assets needed to integrate a broad set of security tools (SAST, DAST, IAST, SCA, container scans and open‑source scanners) into its cloud CI/CD pipeline without slowing developers. The challenge was to automatically run the right tests at the right time—based on code changes, application risk, and policy—so security requirements were met without creating bottlenecks or duplicate testing.

Synopsys Intelligent Orchestration delivered a risk‑based, policy‑as‑code orchestration layer that evaluates change significance and application risk, triggers appropriate tools, sends continuous feedback to DevSecOps, and runs alongside existing build pipelines. The result: fewer extraneous scans and less data to reconcile, reduced resource strain, clearer audit trails for testing decisions, and faster, more efficient development cycles.
