Static Application Security Testing (SAST) has been a central part of application security efforts for more than 15 years. Forrester’s State Of Application Security Report, 2022 found that lacking application security remains a leading cause of external security breaches, so it’s safe to say that SAST will be in use for the foreseeable future. Contents hide 1 What Is SAST? 2 Why do we need SAST? 3 What problems does SAST address? 4 How does SAST work?

Due to increasing connectivity and dependencies, modern embedded applications in many industries including automotive, aviation, and even automated cow brushes (no joke) are constantly growing more complex. This complexity comes with implications for embedded testing tools and requires plenty of manual effort, depending on the toolchain. From an operational perspective, many embedded industries are tightly staffed and work in long cycles with strict deadlines.

The growing complexity of embedded systems coupled with the advent of increasingly sophisticated security attacks highlights a dire need for advanced automated vulnerability analysis tools. Fuzzing is an effective proven technique to find security-critical issues in systems, often without needing to fully understand the internals of the system under test.

Today, I would like to show you to a simplified fuzz testing approach that enables secure coding of C and C++ applications. If you read this article to the end, you will learn about an automated security testing approach for C/C++ that can protect your applications against all sorts of memory corruptions and other common C/C++ vulnerabilities.

Polaris fAST services are fast, powerful, and easy-to-use cloud-based application security testing, optimized for DevSecOps. Fast. These days, it can be hard for us to agree on much of anything. But one thing that seems to unite us all is that when we want something, we want it now. And we need it fast. Fast is definitely top-of-mind for anybody producing software. Delivery schedules are constantly being compressed, so anything that reduces the time for developer tasks is a good thing.

Learn how the gRPC test suite and gRPC wizard enable Defensics customers to create their own test sequences from protocol buffer definitions.

The majority of today's web applications contain dangerous vulnerabilities. To analyze their security, one cannot do without a dynamic scanner. DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) tools allow you to detect and evaluate security problems quickly. Let me tell you what to look for when choosing such a tool.

The modern vehicle comes equipped with a variety of software systems. Especially features that connect it to the outside world, such as online updates, fleet management and communication between vehicles, offer attack surface. The security of automotive software is crucial, not only because bug-induced call-backs are costly, but also because the well-being of passengers depends on it.
