Static code analysis and bug detection are integral to modern software engineering, providing a systematic approach to identify defects and security vulnerabilities without executing the code. By ...

Endor Labs Inc. says Microsoft Corp. has natively integrated its software composition analysis technology into its Microsoft Defender for Cloud cloud-native application protection platform. That means ...

Large-scale software systems are staggeringly complex works of engineering. Bugs inevitably come with the territory and for decades, the software profession has looked for ways to fight them. We may ...

How does AI improve Smart Contract Vulnerability Scanning? We analyze the difference between Static and Dynamic code analysis ...

With the growing number of cybersecurity threats and stringent government policies, organizations are obliged to follow security measures to ensure robust protection at all times. This is where the ...

Premature optimization may be the root of all evil, but these tools will make sure your code is clear, clean and secure. Testing your application before shipping is an important part of the ...

The high cost of finding and patching application flaws is well known. Wouldn’t it be cheaper to write secure code in the first place? One of the fastest growing areas in the software security ...

In December 2021, a vulnerability in a widely used logging library that had gone unfixed since 2013 caused a full-blown security meltdown. The 10/10-rated Log4Shell flaw in Log4j, an open source ...

One of the problems with a standard C compiler is that it doesn’t look for potential flaws in a program's design, only in its coding. The use of a static code analyzer can help to improve firmware and ...

Back in the day, we'd write some code, compile, execute, see what happened and repeat. That was testing. (Sometimes that's still what testing looks like, for better or worse.) Today, we can do a lot ...
