How Dropbox for Business helps IT reduce risk

Legacy file sharing solutions were designed to keep internal data secure. They don't, however, provide safeguards for external sharing and user mobility — and this can introduce unexpected IT risk. With Dropbox for Business, users are enabled to share internally and externally without compromising your ability to control and monitor the flow of data. Sharing controls, administrative capabilities, and activity monitoring help IT limit risk so that all of your teams can collaborate securely.

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.

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.
