About Fortify ScanCentral SAST sensors

Fortify ScanCentral SAST sensors are computers set up to receive scan requests and analyze code using OpenText SAST. A sensor accepts either a project package that contains sources and dependencies, which it translates and scans or it accepts a mobile build session (MBS) file and performs a scan.

For MBS scans, Fortify ScanCentral SAST supports all languages that OpenText SAST supports. For remote translation and scans of the projects, your project must be in a language supported for remote translation. For more information, see Languages supported for remote translation.

As you set up your Fortify ScanCentral SAST environment, you can use subnets to segment your build machines from the sensors. The build machines need only communicate with the Controller, which in turn communicates with the sensors.
