    Unlikely Partnerships

    Agile development organizations often see application security considerations as impediments to the rapid release cycles they strive for. But releasing software with vulnerabilities opens the door to hackers and puts the entire business at risk. How do you develop an application security program that protects the business without impacting time to market?

    This white paper explores the tension between development and security teams and proposes an approach to building security into the software development lifecycle. Read it to learn:

    • The five elements needed to build security into the development process
    • How to use automated security scanning to make application security more reliable and efficient

    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.

    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.

    Speed, Scale, Security: Orchestrating a Great Download Experience

    Delivering software is becoming harder every day. Not only do you have to compete in a universe of 15 billion connected devices, but also with a growing number of users downloading everything from new applications to virus updates.

    The result is a growing congestion that can undermine your ability to get your application, software patch, or device update to your end users as quickly as possible. And every minute that your users spend trying to download your software is a minute they can’t spend using it.

    What it ultimately comes down to is latency.
