Using GrammaTech CodeSentry and CodeSonar to improve Software Security and comply with IEC 62443

(Ithaca/USA, 18 May 2021)

Exida, a functional safety and certification partner of GrammaTech, has released a white paper on GrammaTech products titled
“Using GrammaTech CodeSentry and CodeSonar to Improve Software Security and Comply with IEC 62443.” Exida is similar to TÜV, but based in the US and IEC 62443 is an upcoming standard that many customers in industrial automation are looking at. In order to develop secure code free of vulnerabilities, suppliers are increasingly following a secure development lifecycle to achieve these goals. The IEC 62443-4-1 standard (Security for industrial automation and control systems –Part 4-1: Secure product development lifecycle requirements) defines specific requirements for using a secure development lifecycle in the design, implementation, maintenance and testing of products used in industrial automation and control systems. Grammatech’s CodeSentry and CodeSonar tools can be used to help suppliers comply with this standard. The full report of the white paper is available from GrammaTech's website.

VDC Research Study Finds Only Half of IoT Projects are Testing for Software Security

Meanwhile, when asked to rank the importance of security to current projects, 73.6% of respondents said it was important, very important or critical.
The full report, Finding Sources of Security in the Complex Software Supply Chains of Tomorrow, is available from GrammaTech's website.

Webinar: Binaries - The Hidden Side of Software Composition Analysis (SCA)

(Ithaca/New York/USA, 5 February 2021)

Many SCA solutions require source code for their bill-of-materials and vulnerability analysis. However, source code is not always available for much of the supply chain you use in your applications. This third-party content is often delivered as binaries and includes re-used open source or commercial components, many of which have known vulnerabilities that may be unknown to you. Getting a complete software bill-of-materials to fully understand your security exposure is becoming critical.
- Learn how these hidden vulnerabilities can cause major security headaches
- Discover a new class of SCA products have emerged to meet this challenge
- Hear success stories from GrammaTech and best practices from Forrester on how to implement binary SCA
