Security testing allows you to evaluate the robustness of applications and systems and identify potential weaknesses that attackers may exploit. DAST and fuzzing are two popular, important, and proven security testing methods.

In the domain of software testing and security analysis, fuzzing has emerged as a powerful technique for uncovering vulnerabilities and enhancing the resilience of software systems. Microsoft and Google have been using fuzzing for ages. They were early adopters of fuzzing technologies to test their own systems. Since launching in 2016, Google's OSS-Fuzz, a free fuzzing platform for critical open-source projects, has helped fix over 8,800 vulnerabilities and 28,000 bugs across 850 projects.

In 2023, cyber threats increased and diversified, resulting in increased security challenges for organizations around the globe. Meanwhile, AI greatly increased its presence in the realm of cybersecurity, both negatively and positively. 2024 is going to be a year in which advanced AI tools and complex social engineering tactics will further alter the cybersecurity game. In this article, we will focus on the most important cybersecurity threats in 2024.

Today, we're excited to announce the availability of fAST Dynamic, the latest offering on the Polaris Software Integrity Platform®. As web applications become more complex, so too does the task of testing them for security issues at the pace of modern development pipelines. Polaris fAST Dynamic simplifies dynamic application security testing (DAST) for modern web applications, while also making it faster and easier for the teams developing them.

Most modern vehicles are equipped with a variety of software systems and resemble sophisticated computers on wheels. The ISO/SAE 21434 standard is a framework that provides recommendations and requirements for secure software development in the automotive industry. But what is ISO 21434 exactly? And what can we expect from automotive software security in 2024? Read on and find out!

Static application security testing (SAST) and dynamic application security testing (DAST) are testing methodologies that help find security vulnerabilities that could leave an organization’s applications susceptible to attack.
