NORTHPORT, NY, June 14, 2013 (Press-News.org) Secure Decisions, a division of Applied Visions and developer of visual analytic tools for software assurance and cyber security, has received a Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Phase I award under a US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) program. The company was selected for this software assurance contract by the DHS Science & Technology Directorate, Washington, DC. Under the contract, Secure Decisions will develop the Code Ray software assurance risk management framework, to correlate the results of static and dynamic software analysis tools towards the goal of improving software vulnerability detection. The Code Ray technology will complement and support Secure Decisions Code Dx static source code analysis and Code Pulse dynamic tracing technologies.
About Code Ray
Under a 6-month Phase I software development initiative begun in May 2013, Code Ray will be developed as a software assurance risk management and visualization framework to help software developers, security analysts, and quality assurance engineers better identify and remediate software vulnerabilities within developed code bases. The tool seeks to improve the analysis speed, accuracy and confidence in detection of vulnerabilities by cross-mapping and normalizing the output of dynamic application security testing (DAST) with static application security testing (SAST) tools. Using the DAST-to-SAST merged results, Code Ray will map the correlated findings to selected industry standards, such as FISMA, HIPAA, and PCI to help consumers understand and communicate the relevance and risks of software vulnerabilities to these widely recognized compliance standards.
The addition of Code Ray to Secure Decisions software assurance product offerings, which also includes Code Dx and Code Pulse , will provide a more robust software assurance tool suite solution to customers seeking to improve the security and compliance posture of their existing and future code bases.
