MEDIA ALERT: Synopsys to Showcase Software Integrity Platform at RSA Conference 2016 Asia Pacific and Japan

SINGAPORE, July 18, 2016 -- Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced it will showcase its Software Integrity Platform, a comprehensive suite of software security testing solutions, at RSA Conference 2016 Asia Pacific and Japan. Through a combination of best-in-class automated testing tools, Synopsys’ Software Integrity Platform empowers organizations to reduce risk, cost and time to market by rapidly detecting and fixing critical security vulnerabilities throughout the software development lifecycle and supply chain.

WHEN AND WHERE:

Visit Synopsys and its partner M.Tech at booth D2 at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore from Wednesday, July 20 through Friday, July 22. Learn more about the Software Integrity Platform, including the recently released Coverity® 8.5 static application security testing solution now offered in simplified Chinese.

Synopsys’ Software Integrity Platform is used to facilitate “software signoff,” an integrated development and testing methodology that aims to ensure software quality and security. Pioneered by Synopsys to emulate the signoff concept used in integrated circuit (IC) design, software signoff involves a series of automated testing cycles at critical points throughout the software development lifecycle and software supply chain.

Synopsys security experts will be hosting the following presentations at booth D2 during the course of the conference:

Wednesday, July 20 from 1:10 p.m. -1:25 p.m.

  • Managing Vulnerabilities in Third-Party Software Components

    Heartbleed, ShellShock, Poodle… Vulnerabilities in third-party software components have captured numerous headlines in recent past years. Learn how organizations can gain visibility and manage risk across their software supply chain. During this presentation, we will drill down to the binaries and explore how organizations can mitigate these open- source and third-party vulnerabilities with software composition analysis.

Thursday, July 21, 10:50 a.m. -11:05 a.m.

  • Augmenting Penetration Testing with IAST

    One of the critiques of pen-testing is that it requires extensive expertise and manual work and only provides a fleeting glimpse of an organization’s security posture at a given point in time. Interactive application security testing, or IAST, tools can help organizations to gain continuous visibility and combat threats as they emerge, leveraging automation and advanced runtime analysis technology.  During this presentation, we will go through the benefits of IAST testing, and also the value it can bring to make pen-testing more efficient and less time consuming.

Friday, July 22, 12:50 p.m. - 1:05 p.m.

  • Solving the Common Threat Intelligence Challenges

    Harmonization, augmentation, reliability, consistency and timeliness are common challenges that plague organizations implementing a threat intelligence tool. In this presentation, learn how these challenges can be addressed and how a threat intelligence platform can be utilized to harness the power of multiple threat intelligence feeds.
