History

Fortify Software was founded by Kleiner Perkins in 2003. Fortify Inc. was acquired by HP in 2010.[7]

On September 7, 2016, HPE CEO Meg Whitman announced that the software assets of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, including Fortify, would be merged with Micro Focus to create an independent company of which HP Enterprise shareholders would retain majority ownership.Шаблон:Citation needed

Micro Focus CEO Kevin Loosemore called the transaction "entirely consistent with our established acquisition strategy and our focus on efficient management of mature infrastructure products" and indicated that Micro Focus intended to "bring the core earnings margin for the mature assets in the deal - about 80 percent of the total - from 21 percent today to Micro Focus's existing 46 percent level within three years."[8] The merge concluded on September 1, 2017.Шаблон:Citation needed

OpenText acquired Micro Focus (including Fortify Software products) in 2023.

Technical advisory board

Fortify's technical advisory board was composed of Avi Rubin, Bill Joy, David Wagner, Fred Schneider, Gary McGraw, Greg Morrisett, Li Gong, Marcus Ranum, Matt Bishop, William Pugh, and John Viega.

Security research

Fortify created a security research group that maintained the Java Open Review project[9] and the Vulncat taxonomy of security vulnerabilities in addition to the security rules for Fortify's analysis software.[10] Members of the group wrote the book Secure Coding with Static Analysis, and published research, including JavaScript Hijacking,[11] Attacking the build: Cross build Injection,[12] Watch what you write: Preventing Cross-site scripting by observing program output,[13] and Dynamic taint propagation: Finding vulnerabilities without attacking.[14]
