Integrated Security Workbench for Standardized Multi-Scanner Compliance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The use of different security scanner types by various development teams leads to inefficiencies in maintaining separate infrastructures, increased resource consumption, and difficulty in enforcing uniform security compliance across enterprise guidelines.
Innovation Solution
Integrating multiple scanner types into a single, integrated security tool that displays security vulnerability issues in a standardized format, allowing for a unified view and compliance enforcement across different teams and products.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate scanner types are used by different development teams, then each team can address their specific security concerns with appropriate tools, but the infrastructure cost and resource consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate scanner types (SAST, DAST, SCA, etc.) into a single integrated security workbench that provides unified scanning capabilities. This consolidation eliminates the need for separate infrastructures for each scanner type while maintaining the ability to perform diverse security assessments through a common platform.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated security workbench is designed as a universal platform that can execute multiple scanner types and security testing functions through a single interface. The system provides multi-functionality by allowing users to select different scanner types (SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets scanning) within one unified tool, eliminating the need for separate specialized infrastructures.
2Adaptability or versatility
If different scanner types are used for different development teams, then security scanning can be tailored to specific needs, but enforcing uniform security compliance becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple scanner types into a single integrated workbench that enforces uniform security compliance across all development teams. The unified interface and standardized output formats ensure consistent compliance enforcement while still allowing access to specialized scanning capabilities through the same platform.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements homogeneity in compliance enforcement by providing a unified interface and standardized output formats for all scanner types. Regardless of which scanner type is used (SAST, DAST, SCA, or secrets scanning), the output is normalized to a common format that can be uniformly reviewed and compliance enforced across all development teams.
3Reliability
If separate departmental infrastructures are maintained for different scanner types, then each scanner can be optimized for its specific function, but networking and processing resources are consumed excessively
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple scanner infrastructures into a single shared resource platform. By consolidating SAST, DAST, SCA, and secrets scanning capabilities into one integrated workbench, the system eliminates redundant networking and processing resources that would be required to support separate departmental infrastructures for each scanner type.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated security workbench serves as a universal platform that provides multiple scanning functions through shared infrastructure resources. This multi-functionality allows the system to optimize resource utilization by serving multiple scanner types through a common resource base, reducing overall networking and processing resource consumption compared to separate specialized infrastructures.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates generally to a security workbench and, more particularly, to a system, method and computer program product which integrates different scanner types into a single, integrated security tool. The method, for example, includes: integrating, by a computer system, a plurality of scanner types into a single tool; and displaying, by the computer system, an output of any of the plurality of scanner types run on software code in a standardized format in a graphical user interface of the tool.
