Information security policies and processes
In the Synopsys SIG Product Security Program, we’re obsessed with asking the question “What if?” We
strive to understand exactly what risks we’re exposed to. Because our approach considers every phase
in the life cycle of our products, we can address security from every angle. Every person in SIG feels
connected to this mission, and that gets baked into everything we do.
Our innovative tools offer advanced protection against vulnerabilities. And we’re uniquely positioned
to provide these products built with security in mind from the start because we use the entire suite of
Synopsys security tools and services. In fact, Synopsys was positioned as having the strongest offering
in the 2017 Forrester Wave for Static Application Security Testing, and in 2018 we were a Gartner Magic
Quadrant leader in application security testing. https://tinyurl.com/SIG-product-security
