In recognition of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we’ve outlined some open source dependency best practices to help organizations manage their open source.

The Code Sight security plugin, available for IntelliJ, makes IDE-based AppSec testing attainable without breaking established development workflows. It has been decades since application development evolved to include the creation of software for local installation as well as hosted, cloud-based delivery and software as a service (SaaS). This evolution was the first shift in development workflows—and it established a new potential attack vector for software assets in production.

Securing cloud-native apps require advanced tooling. Learn why Synopsys earned the highest score for the cloud-native app use case in Gartner’s latest report. The cloud-native development model entered the mainstream in the recent years, with technologies such as microservices and serverless computing, containers, APIs, and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) at the forefront of this trend.

In a merger and acquisition (M&A) tech transaction where the code is much of the value, acquirers want to ensure that the components used are properly licensed. If they are not, the purchaser might be exposed to legal issues that they will need to address. In 2021, 78% of the code that Synopsys audited was comprised of third-party components.

Understanding the latest BSIMM report trends can help you plan strategic improvements to your own security efforts. If you want good advice on how to improve your organization’s software security—and you should—you’ve come to the right place. What makes it even better is that it’s not coming only from us—It’s coming from your peers in your own industry sector.

CVE-2022-39063 is a vulnerability in the Open5GS project, an open source implementation of 5G components. The Synopsys Cybersecurity Research Center (CyRC) has exposed a denial-of-service vulnerability in Open5GS. Open5GS is an open source project that provides LTE and 5G mobile packet core network functionalities with an AGPLv3 or commercial license. It can be used to build private LTE/5G telecom networks by individuals or telecom network operators.

Learn who needs open source audits, why you might need one, who and what is involved, and how an open source audit can help you in an M&A. If you’re part of a modern business that does any software development, your dev teams are using open source components to move quickly, save money, and leverage community innovation. If you’re a law firm or a consultant, your clients use open source.

Smart homes rely on secure devices. Fuzz testing identifies software vulnerabilities in smart devices by fuzzing wireless and IoT protocols.
