Exhaustive static analysis enables developers to find and eliminate 100% of undefined behaviors (defects like buffer overflow, uninitialized memory access, etc.) that can leave low-level code vulnerable to attack and runtime errors. It gives device manufacturers and their customers an iron-clad guarantee that their products are completely free of such vulnerabilities.

In the remainder of this white paper, we will examine in greater detail:

• The challenges of ensuring the security of low-level code in today’s environment,
• Why traditional code verification methods are not up to these challenges, and
• How exhaustive static analysis is able to meet those same challenges and guarantee cybersecurity and reliability in low-level code.
