Secure Decisions Technology to Support the NIST Static Analysis Tool Exposition (SATE)

NORTHPORT, NY, June 17, 2013 – Secure Decisions’ new software assurance technology Code Dx™ will be used by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to support the evaluation of static source code analysis tool performance during the fifth Static Analysis Tool Exposition (SATE V) and Workshop. The Static Analysis Tool Exposition (SATE) is part of an effort led by NIST and hosted by the Morgridge Institute Software Assurance Marketplace (SWAMP) to advance research in, and improvement of, static analysis tools that find security-relevant defects in source code. The exposition will allow participating tool developers to execute their software assurance tools against a set of software programs with known security defects. NIST-led researchers using Code Dx will be able to analyze the tool results, and report and discuss their findings and experiences at a [...]

Secure Decisions releases MeerCAT® Pro Version 4.1

NORTHPORT, NY, April 16, 2013 – The Secure Decisions Division of Applied Visions has released a new version of its wireless network security visualization tool, MeerCAT®-Pro Version 4.1. MeerCAT®, a visualization tool to help identify wireless vulnerabilities and threats, and assess the risks to an organization was developed as part of a DARPA-funded research effort. It has helped many security professionals – including information security auditors, penetration vulnerability testers, and computer network defenders – conduct post-hoc analysis of data acquired from wireless site surveys and security audits. The data analyzed by MeerCAT® is typically collected using “wardriving” software such as Flying Squirrel or Kismet that discover, identify, and locate wireless transmitters. MeerCAT® integrates wireless discovery data with a geographic information system (GIS) to provide a unified view of detected wireless devices, with their vulnerabilities and [...]
