Security and speed in software development are not mutually exclusive. Red Hat, the open source software giant, and the Synopsys Software Integrity Group are joining forces to prove it. Synopsys is bringing Seeker®, its automated interactive application security testing (IAST) tool, to Red Hat application runtimes like JBoss EAP, OpenJDK, and WebSphere with OpenShift Container Platform to secure a variety of software applications.
As companies become more digitized, they must take appropriate steps in their application security processes to ensure data protection. The SolarWinds software supply chain attack, which was delivered to over 18,000 customers via the company’s own software update process, was the result of malicious code deployed in SolarWinds’ Orion network monitoring software.
Fragmentation and aggregation attacks (FragAttacks) are WLAN vulnerabilities discovered by Mathy Vanhoef, who created this webpage to provide more information about them. Three of these vulnerabilities are 802.11 specification design flaws, and they are probably as old as the 802.11 specification itself. Aggregation was added in 802.11n, which means this vulnerability has been in the design for over 10 years. Nine of these vulnerabilities are implementation flaws.
AST solutions provide insights to help organizations make more-informed decisions about their security investments. By now, everybody is familiar with the fundamental value of using application security testing (AST) solutions. You do security testing as part of a secure software development life cycle, you find security bugs, you fix them, and the software you release has a lower risk of being compromised, interrupted, or otherwise abused by attackers.
Synopsys’s world-class application security products, services, and the recently released Intelligent Orchestration can help you build secure, high-quality, resilient software faster. But no single vendor can provide solutions for all the challenges a company faces today. Firms need partners to solve the myriad business challenges they face. Synopsys Technology Alliance Partner program partners with the technology industry’s leading organizations to create joint customer value.
As the use of open source has grown, so has the number of vulnerabilities. Uncover the latest findings from the 2021 OSSRA report. Open source libraries are the foundation for every application in every industry. But paralleling the popularity of open source is a growth in risk—specifically around open source licensing, security, code quality, and especially open source sustainability.

How can you successfully navigate open source license compliance? Start with the right tools to identify your dependences and calculate their risks. What if you have an open source software package licensed under a permissive license like the Apache or MIT, but inside that package are dependencies licensed under a restrictive license like the General Public License (GPL)? What are some best practices to follow?
Ready to transition your organization to DevSecOps but unsure of where to begin? Get started with our top 10 DevSecOps best practices. By: Sneha Kokil, associate principal consultant, and Arvind Balaji, associate principal consultant, at Synopsys.

AppSec shouldn’t compromise velocity. Learn how Intelligent Orchestration optimizes AppSec testing while removing complexity from DevOps toolchains. To stay competitive, organizations are embracing digital transformation and innovating at record speed. In order to achieve this, they’re embracing agility through processes such as DevOps, site reliability engineering, GitOps, and more.
Cyber security experts weigh in on what we’ve learned about President Biden’s cyber security strategy in his first 100 days in office. President Joe Biden declared in mid-December, more than a month before he took office, that cyber security would be a “top priority” of his administration. It should be. The digital world, as we are all now reminded daily, has a direct impact on the real world, for better and worse.
