Israeli software developer WhiteSource takes over Croatian peer DefenseCode

To accelerate the company’s static application security testing (SAST) solution, WhiteSource completed the acquisition of Croatian-based DefenseCode, which provides next-generation enterprise-grade SAST capabilities including fast scanning and support for multiple languages, WhiteSource said in a statement earlier this week.

“Our goal with DefenseCode has always been to provide the best of breed SAST solution with actionable results and a very low level of noise,” Leon Juranic, founder of DefenseCode and now a security consultant in R&D at WhiteSource, noted in the statement.
