Mobile app security testing and development at the speed your business demands

Synopsys recently introduced static application security testing (SAST) support for the Dart programming language and the Flutter application framework to expand our coverage for mobile development teams that are tasked with delivering secure apps on multiple platforms. This builds on our support of more than 20 programming languages and 200 frameworks, and complements our existing Kotlin, Swift, and React Native support with another option for those focused on secure mobile app development.

Beyond SBOMs: The Future of Software Supply Chain Security

The recent executive order requiring SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials) of those supplying software to the federal government has been instrumental in advancing the conversation around software supply chain security – but SBOMs are just the tip of the iceberg, and quite possibly, not even the most interesting or promising part. Cisco distinguished engineer Ed Warnicke and Cisco technical marketing engineer Michael Chenetz were joined by Aeva Black, OmniBor Project – Microsoft, Brandon Lum, Guac and Google, Dan Lorenc, Wolfi/Chainguard, and Cole Kennedy, TestifySec.

This is why mobile app security is key to your business’s growth.

NIS2: Who is affected?

This is a question we get a lot from our customers. The NIS2 Directive’s wording is not always very explicit. NIS2 is a framework that countries need to implement. Because it’s a Directive and not a Regulation, each EU country has the autonomy to roll it out under their own interpretation. NIS2’s language is broad, making it challenging to get your head around, especially until countries publish their specifics.

3 Critical Steps for Application Security Teams in 2024

Software development practices are rapidly changing, and so are the methods adversaries use to target custom applications. The rise of loosely coupled applications, along with an impressive increase in code deployment speed, has resulted in a growing attack surface with more software architecture and imported dependencies. Application security (AppSec) teams are often outnumbered by software developers and struggle to keep up with frequent code changes.
