About Fortify ScanCentral SAST clients

A Fortify ScanCentral SAST client can generate packages with sources and dependencies, which are uploaded to the Controller for remote translation and scan on sensors. You can use this functionality independent of OpenText SAST.

A Fortify ScanCentral SAST client can also run on a build machine where OpenText SAST translates code and generates mobile build sessions (MBS). The translated source code, along with optional and required data, such as custom rules and OpenText SAST command-line options, are uploaded to the Controller for analysis by sensors.
