Ok, last software security news item for today, I promise. :-) This article (see http://www.darkreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=115110&WT.svl=news1_1) is about a couple of new startup companies. One of them in particular, Veracode, may be of some interest here. The article says, "Veracode, founded by Chris Wysopal and other former executives of @stake, is now offering patented binary-code analysis of software for enterprises that want to analyze their software's security on a regular basis. The ASP will also offer security reviews of enterprise products and security analysis of third-party apps for software developers." The article also provides some counterpoints, including some from Gary McGraw, that are worth reading. Among other things, Gary says, "However, if you want real security analysis you have to go past the binary, past the source code, and actually consider the design." Opinions on binary vs. source code (and design!) analysis, anyone?
