Fortify Software

Fortify Software is the application security (AppSec) business now delivered as OpenText Core Application Security, better known by its long-running Fortify brand. Founded in 2003 in San Mateo, California, Fortify pioneered static application security testing (SAST) and was acquired by HP in 2010, moved to Micro Focus in 2017, and to OpenText in 2023. Its flagship SaaS, Fortify on Demand (FoD), provides SAST, DAST, mobile (MAST), and open-source/software-composition analysis as a service, and exposes a documented Fortify on Demand REST API (v3) covering applications, releases, scans, vulnerabilities, reports, users, tenants, and personal access tokens. Authentication is OAuth 2.0 (client-credentials token endpoint) with granular tenant scopes, plus personal access tokens and API keys. A rich GitHub organization (github.com/fortify) ships first-party tooling including the fcli command-line utility and Software Security Center REST clients.

agent aware

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Fortify Software the way a machine reads it — 33 machine-readable artifacts across 28 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Fortify Software scores 37.3/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 40/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Fortify Software

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Fortify Software. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 28

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Security Posture 3

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
