Finance – PCI-DSS Quality & Security
Klocwork measure and address areas of the PCI DSS as it relates to developing and maintaining secure software applications. With Klocwork static code analysis and Revenera’s Open Source vulnerability solutions, development teams can implement a consistent, policy-based approach to reducing code vulnerabilities in their software.
By applying the Klocwork Quality Standard checks to new or existing projects, software defects are classified into categories such as suspicious code practices, resource leaks, maintainability, performance, and more. The built-in quality report will show you the trends, new issues, and areas of code with the most issues in these categories. This allows developers and managers to focus their efforts on the categories which are most critical to improving the quality of their software projects.
The Klocwork Quality Standard report can also be enhanced by running Cyclometric Complexity reports to help the development team pin point high levels of inherent complexity and ultimately set about the task of reducing the level. Technical Debt
Klocwork includes built-in checkers to support all of the leading Security standards CWE, CERT, DISA STIG, CWE/SANS Top 25, OWASP, MISRA. Klocwork also allows organisations to quickly introduce their own customised security checkers to meet the ever-changing threat landscape.
Trapping Security Vulnerabilities
Defensive coding through automation with a threat model in hand, developers can begin to drill-down and identify the specific security vulnerabilities that could expose their embedded software to risk. Programmers, however, aren’t security experts and can miss common security gaps, logic errors, and concurrency violations that expose code to external threats.
Automated static code analysis (SCA) tools can assist embedded software developers by helping to eliminate security vulnerabilities early in the development cycle. While automotive software development teams are familiar with traditional SCA tools, they’re limited to finding programmatic bugs only. Modern tools can detect security vulnerabilities and defects as the developer is writing code. This helps developers build security into their code and reduce risk as early as possible, without burdening the project with a lengthy defect-testing phase.
Static analysis tools can identify hundreds — if not thousands — of security vulnerabilities, including critical vulnerabilities such as buffer overflows, uninitialised data, use of dangling pointers, injection flaws, and the use of known insecure APIs and libraries.
