WHITEHAT

WHITEHAT is the automated scanning agent for the Sentinel platform, now part of the Synopsys security portfolio. It is designed to integrate into the software development lifecycle by analyzing source code and third-party components for security flaws, CVEs, and licensing issues. The bot operates as part of a professional security service, helping organizations proactively identify and remediate vulnerabilities before code reaches production environments.

The bot crawls and analyzes web-accessible repositories and application endpoints to perform deep security inspections. It identifies potential security weaknesses, such as insecure configurations or vulnerable library versions, and reports these findings back to the platform's user interface or integrated bug-tracking systems. Verification can be performed by checking the source IP against Synopsys/WhiteHat's published infrastructure ranges or by confirming the user-agent string matches authorized scanning activity within your organization's security dashboard.
