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.

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.
