Change Healthcare runs the largest financial and administrative healthcare network in the United States. Whether for pharmacies, dentists, hospitals, laboratories, or other healthcare organizations, the applications developed by Change Healthcare are used to process millions of healthcare transactions across the country.

Prior to August 2015, the company faced a data security challenge familiar to technology companies. Customers were increasingly asking for proof that Change Healthcare’s systems were secure and that their patients’ data was safe. Change Healthcare’s reputation and the personal information of millions of Americans depended on the security of the company’s applications. However, with the processes in place at the time, vulnerability testing was time-consuming and expensive. Today, Change Healthcare tests applications at a fraction of the cost and time it took previously. Fortify on Demand and Micro Focus® Fortify WebInspect provide an affordable and effective means of finding and fixing exploitable vulnerabilities much faster than before and without hindering the development process.
