Each month we highlight research from the Black Duck Security Research team in Belfast. This month’s vulnerability followed an unusual path through more than half a decade.

As we celebrate the first anniversary of Rapid Scan Static, we look back at the growth of our new SAST engine. In June 2021, Synopsys officially released Rapid Scan Static, a feature of Code Sight™ SE and Coverity® by Synopsys and powered by the Sigma scan engine. Rapid Scan Static reduces the noise and friction for developers by providing fast results that enable them to take action earlier in the software development life cycle (SDLC).

Building trust in your software is important, but software trust is even more important in M&A transactions. The Black Duck® Audit team is part of the Synopsys Software Integrity Group. And Synopsys is all about trust. The Synopsys mission is to help you build trust in your software. There is nothing better than a good night’s sleep. And with the importance of software to almost every business today, concern about software risk can negatively impact your slumber.

Mitigating the risks associated with complex enterprise applications requires securing every component at every stage of the life cycle.
