Micro Focus Launches Fortify on Demand for AWS GovCloud

Micro Focus, certified by Federal Risk and Authorization Management, launched Fortify on Demand for AWS GovCloud to increase security for federal agency apps.

 Micro Focus (LSE: MCRO; NYSE: MFGP) announced on June 10 that Fortify on Demand has migrated its application security testing services to AWS GovCloud, furthering the ability to offer enhanced testing, vulnerability management, and support to critical federal agencies. Fortify on Demand remains the first and only application security managed service vendor that is authorized by the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) to offer government agencies seamless application security testing while adhering to internal risk management policies.

“Since 2015, Fortify on Demand has been the only authorized FedRAMP AppSec solution in the market,” said Scott Johnson, General Manager for Micro Focus Fortify. “Micro Focus’ Fortify on Demand has earned the trust of federal agencies for its enhanced capabilities and features that offer testing, vulnerability management, expertise, and support. The migration to AWS GovCloud will provide these critical government organizations with the ability to accelerate their AppSec programs with the fastest, most accurate results available.”

With the migration to AWS GovCloud, Fortify on Demand now offers secure services such as static, dynamic, and mobile application testing as a service to the nation’s critical agencies, including the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of State, the Federal Aviation Administration, the United States Army, and the United States Air Force. Essential benefits by Fortify on Demand include:

  • The ability to adhere to International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), the FedRAMP requirements, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), DoD (SRG) Impact Levels 2, 4, and 5, FIPS 140-2, IRS-1075, and other compliance regimes.
  • The ability to protect sensitive unclassified data files with server-side encryption in Amazon S3.
