Black Duck Rapid Scan enables developers to check for security or policy violations without disrupting development process. When the first software composition analysis (SCA) tools made their entrance into the market, their focus was on license compliance. As open source grew in popularity, SCA tools expanded to include vulnerability management, helping to reduce the attack surface for organizations leveraging open source.

Creating a secure software development life cycle can lower risk, but security must be embedded into every step to ensure more secure applications. On May 6, 1937, the Hindenburg airship burst into flames while docking, causing 35 deaths and bringing the airship era to a sudden close. In hindsight, it seems tragically obvious. Fill a giant bag with highly flammable hydrogen gas and trouble is bound to follow.

Open source software audits can identify undetected issues in your codebase. Learn how our audit services can help you understand the risks during an M&A. Most of our clients understand that an open source software audit differs from an automated scan. An audit involves expert consultants analyzing a proprietary codebase using a combination of Black Duck® commercial tools and tools we’ve developed and use internally.

Security investments require executive buy-in. Learn what key development motivators can help justify your security program updates. As development speeds increase exponentially, organizations often struggle to introduce or maintain security practices capable of keeping pace. Additionally, security teams can find it difficult to get the top-down buy-in and support they need for a security overhaul.

Eight vulnerabilities were discovered in Zephyr’s Bluetooth LE Stack using Defensics Bluetooth LE fuzzing solution.

The vast majority of today’s applications are made up of open source components. The 2021 “Open Source Security and Risk Analysis” (OSSRA) report, conducted by the Synopsys Cybersecurity Research Center (CyRC), found that 75% of the 1,500+ codebases analyzed were composed of open source. Understanding what’s in your codebase is essential, and for M&A transactions it’s one of the key drivers for performing software due diligence.

DevSecOps is a team effort. Learn how to build security into DevOps to deliver secure, high-quality software faster using SAST and SCA software solutions. Modern software development is more of everything: more code, in more languages, on more platforms, with more deployment options. DevOps demands automation to maximize velocity and continuous improvement throughout process feedback. All this more also means more security risk.

Ransomware prevention measures such as securing your applications can help you avoid becoming the next target. Ransomware isn’t a new problem—not even close. It’s been around for more than 30 years. But like every element of technology, it has evolved. Instead of being an occasional expensive nuisance, it’s now a plague with existential implications for critical infrastructure—energy, transportation, food supply, water and sewer services, healthcare, and more.

With the introduction of more data privacy laws, companies can use a data security strategy and framework to help them achieve better compliance. This is the second post in a data protection blog series that addresses how organizations can better protect their sensitive data. This blog post addresses data privacy laws, frameworks, and how organizations can create their own data security strategies and frameworks to achieve compliance with today’s data privacy laws and standards.

Get practical steps for MISRA and AUTOSAR compliance to improve code quality, safety, and security in automotive software. Recent advancements in the automotive industry include the development of autonomous driving systems, connectivity units, and digital cockpits and infotainment systems that improve the user experience.

CVE-2021-22116, CVE-2021-33175, and CVE-2021-33176 are denial of service vulnerabilities in three popular open source message broker applications.

Code Dx adds software vulnerability correlation, prioritization, and consolidated risk reporting. Today, Synopsys announced the acquisition of Code Dx, the provider of an award-winning application security risk management solution that automates and accelerates the discovery, prioritization, and remediation of software vulnerabilities.

With the rise of cyber attacks on web apps, organizations require AST tools that can help manage web application security and compliance. Remember the saga of Equifax and the unpatched Apache Struts vulnerability? It wasn’t that long ago, and it’s one of the most notorious web application security incidents to date.

Today, we are proud to announce the expansion of the partnership between Synopsys and the OpenChain project to include third-party certification. The OpenChain Project already recognizes the open source expertise of Synopsys in both the service provider and vendor space. This latest recognition ensures that Synopsys participates in and continuously aligns to the OpenChain Project and ISO/IEC 5230 compliance specification.

5G introduces security concerns but threat modeling can help you make better informed decisions about your application security risks. 5G is fundamentally different from 4G, LTE, or any other network the telecommunications industry has ever seen before. It promises data rates 100 times faster than 4G, network latency of under 1 millisecond, support for 1 million devices/sq. km., and 99.999% availability of the network.
