Hybrid Storage for Backup and Data Protection

Backup and data protection continue to be critical considerations for any enterprise. As an established leader in backup storage, Quantum offers QXS hybrid storage systems as a cost-effective option for block storage that can be used for backup.

Users have many choices for backup and disaster recovery storage, including deduplication appliances, standard block or NAS storage for backup, the cloud for off-site DR protection, and, of course, most users continue to use tape for long termretention, compliance, and archiving.

Software Supply Chain Management with BOMtotal

BOMtotal is a free service that generates a bill of materials from any executable code.

Anyone who uses software has a right to know what's inside it. Just as you can examine any piece of food in a supermarket to see its ingredients, you should be able to know what's inside software that you use or might use.

Enabling anyone to generate a bill of materials (list of ingredients) for any piece of software results in a better world for all of us. Buyers gain visibility into software during their procurement cycles by requesting bills of materials from builders. Builders examine bills of materials for their own products to make sure they have no surprises. Ordinary people benefit because when builders and buyers effectively manage their software supply chains, the entire ecosystem becomes safer, more reliable, and more secure.

Fuzz Testing Maturity Model

Fuzz testing is an industry-standard technique for locating unknown vulnerabilities in software. Fuzz testing is mandatory portion of many modern secure software development life cycles (SDLCs), such as those used at Adobe, Cisco Systems and Microsoft. This document provides a framework to assess the maturity of your processes, software, systems and devices. At the heart of this document is a vendor-agnostic maturity model for fuzz testing that maps metrics and procedures of effective fuzz testing to maturity levels. The maturity model is a lingua franca for talking about fuzzing, allowing different organizations to communicate effectively about fuzzing without being tied to specific tools.

The Fuzz Testing Maturity Model (FTMM) gives builders and buyers a set of standard levels for communicating about fuzz testing.

Synopsys solutions help deliver a more comprehensive security offering for the SDLC by adding black box testing capabilities, including the Codenomicon Defensics® tool for file and protocol fuzz testing, and the Codenomicon AppCheck™ tool for software composition analysis and vulnerability assessment.

Understanding Verification, Validation and Certification

Cybersecurity and communication robustness have become increasingly bigger concerns as technology has continued to improve and systems have become more complex. Each attempt to expand the networking and communication capabilities of devices have brought new features and convenient solutions for end users, along with new security and robustness challenges.

Synopsys solutions help deliver a more comprehensive security offering for the SDLC by adding black box testing capabilities, including the Codenomicon Defensics® tool for file and protocol fuzz testing, and the Codenomicon AppCheck™ tool for software composition analysis and vulnerability assessment.

What is Fuzzing: The Poet, the Courier, and The Oracle

Fuzzing is well established as an excellent technique for locating vulnerabilities in software. The basic premise is to deliver intentionally malformed input to target software and detect failure. A complete fuzzer has three components. A poet creates the malformed inputs or test cases. A courier delivers test cases to the target software. Finally, an oracle detects if a failure has occurred in the target. Fuzzing is a crucial tool in software vulnerability management, both for organizations that build software as well as organizations that use software.

Synopsys solutions help deliver a more comprehensive security offering for the SDLC by adding black box testing capabilities, including the Codenomicon Defensics® tool for file and protocol fuzz testing, and the Codenomicon AppCheck™ tool for software composition analysis and vulnerability assessment.

The Critical Need for Enterprise-Grade File Sync and Share Solutions

Consumer-focused file sync and share (CFSS) solutions have become one of the most popular categories of applications used in the workplace over the past few years. Led by Dropbox – as well as various freemium and paid offerings from companies like Microsoft, Google, Apple and at least 80 other vendors – these tools allow users automatically to synchronize their files across all of their desktop, laptop, smartphone and tablet platforms. Users implement these tools for a variety of good reasons: to have access to all of their files when working after hours or while traveling, in support of formal or informal telework programs, or to share large files more efficiently or when the corporate email system will not support sharing of files over a certain size

Embedded BI: Putting Reporting and Analysis Everywhere

The embedded business intelligence market has evolved from the 1990s when companies embedded proprietary code into their applications using proprietary APIs from BI vendors. The Web enabled companies to decouple BI applications from their core applications, running them on separate servers, using URL or Web services APIs to connect them. Today companies increasingly use JavaScript and REST APIs to embed BI tools, which some BI vendors now make available in platform-as-a-service cloud environments as pay-as-you-go services.
