Flyingduck: A Comprehensive Security Analysis Platform
Flyingduck is a security analysis platform that combines various application security testing capabilities within the software development lifecycle.
The Platform's Key Security Features
The platform incorporates several important security features:
- Static Application Security Testing (SAST) for analyzing source code during the development phase.
- Software Composition Analysis (SCA) for detecting vulnerabilities in both direct and transitive dependencies.
- Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation to keep track of software components.
- Secrets detection to uncover exposed sensitive information, such as API keys and credentials.
- AI-assisted vulnerability remediation that provides actionable recommendations for fixes.
The tool integrates into CI/CD pipelines for enhanced security scanning
The tool seamlessly integrates into CI/CD pipelines and conducts security scanning during the commit stage. This process allows for the early detection of vulnerabilities.
It analyzes active code paths to enhance security
It analyzes active code paths to identify security issues and provides developers with the following resources:
- Vulnerability assessment reports that include Common Vulnerability Code references
- Guidance for upgrading dependencies
- Capabilities for checking compliance
- Scanning of GitHub repositories
- Recommendations for code security best practices
The platform emphasizes shift-left security practices
The platform emphasizes shift-left security practices by integrating security testing early in the development process instead of waiting until after deployment.
