Securing Your Applications Against Spectre - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

The recently discovered Spectre security vulnerability has taken the tech industry and security world by storm. By exploiting security vulnerabilities inherent in the design of many modern microprocessors, Spectre attacks can cause damaging leakage of personal information and data. There are several proposed workarounds to protect applications affected by Spectre. However, they can adversely affect performance and be time consuming for developers. A novel solution to mitigate Spectre is to use a static analysis tool that quickly identifies vulnerable code patterns that are likely to be exploited and reduces potential app performance degradation. In this webinar, James Croall, director of SAST product management at Synopsys, will detail how this works and cover the following: -What is Spectre and how is the attack carried out? -What are the various ways to mitigate the effects of this attack? -What can software development organizations do to help secure their apps against Spectre? -What are some best practices and examples of how to use Synopsys Static Analysis (Coverity) to better secure your apps against Spectre attacks?
