Our industry-leading portfolio of software security products and services is the most comprehensive in the world and interoperates with third-party and open source tools, allowing organizations to leverage existing investments to build the security program that’s best for them. Only Synopsys offers everything you need to build trust in your software.

Understanding the risks associated with open source software has become the norm in tech due diligence, but not all approaches are created equal. Knowing what’s in the software you’re acquiring is the first step. Few targets are able to produce an SBOM and when they do, it tends to be about 50% accurate. Is “good enough” good enough for M&A?

Join this live Synopsys webinar to learn how a purpose-built M&A open source audit differs from open source management tools and why it matters in tech due diligence. We’ll cover:

• The risks associated with open source software 
•Why depth of analysis matters, and what it results in during M&A diligence
•Why accuracy, reporting and expert human analysis are keys to thorough diligence

Open Source Software Audit vs Scan: What’s Right for M&A?

Open source and third-party software make up the bulk of code in today’s applications. Open source has become so integral to modern development that security and development teams struggle to identify all the components in their software. AI code generation only adds to the difficulty.  

From license compliance issues to security vulnerabilities to reliance on stagnant projects, it’s never been more critical to know what’s in your code. It’s table stakes for addressing these risks.  

Join this webinar to hear top open source legal experts discuss how to minimize risks while leveraging open source in software development and M&A. We’ll cover:  

- Roots of open source 
- Examination of the risks 
- Overview of the most popular open source licenses  
- Guidelines for managing

Fundamentals of Open Source Risk Management

Companies adopt many application security testing (AST) tools to pinpoint where critical fixes are needed and avoid costly postproduction software issues. Yet despite a lot of AppSec investment, they still fail to get an accurate view of risk, and struggle integrate testing, triage, and remediation within developer workflows. This has driven the evolution of application security posture management (ASPM). 

In this session, we’ll dive into 
- The difference between application security orchestration and correlation (ASOC) and ASPM
- The capabilities that a comprehensive ASPM solution should have
- How ASPM can help your development and security teams mitigate software risk at scale

What is Application Security Posture Management (ASPM)?

The development process is now so elaborate, distributed, and fast-moving that it’s difficult for enterprises to fully understand and manage effectively, much less defend against attacks. Complex projects may require input from multiple teams that are often unaware of one another’s activities. They may use third-party code and open source that hasn’t been thoroughly vetted. And they may be written using automated tools and AI, which may not employ security best practices or unknowingly propagate weak or vulnerable code. 

Join experts from SANS and Synopsys as they discuss why a new approach to DevOps security is required—one that applies continuous testing to continuous development so that threats and vulnerabilities can be identified and mitigated across every step of the development process.

Shift Left to Shift Everywhere: Continuous Development's Impact on Security

A common adage states that “security is only as strong as its weakest link.” Penetration (pen) testing is meant to demonstrate this idea. Through administration of yearly pen tests, these entry points can be identified and patched, providing greater assurance in an application’s defense. 

A pen test is a simulated attack on your apps and infrastructure to find exploitable flaws and vulnerabilities. Expert testers use varying and ever-changing tools and techniques to find and demonstrate the business impacts of weaknesses in a system.  

In this webinar you will learn: 
- Definition and types of pen tests 
- The precautions you need to take before you start testing 
- Approaches to vulnerability discovery across applications 
- How (manual) pen testing fits in with automated tooling 
- Development of an example vulnerability

Pen Testing 101

In the complex world of software development, generative artificial intelligence (GAI) coding tools appear as a beacon of productivity and effectiveness. When handled with precision, they brighten the path to innovation, cutting through the intricacies of coding. However, as with any unchecked flame, such tools must be carefully managed to avoid endangering an organization's valued IP, impacting its bottom line or introducing risk into an M&A transaction.

Join this webinar to get an introduction to GAI coding tools and how you can minimize risk when using these in your organization. We’ll cover:

- Introduction to GAI coding tools (from code completion to code generation)
- Legal, operational, and M&A risks arising from GAI coding tools (e.g., IP ownership, IP infringement, cybersecurity) 
- Establishing a general AI policy with provisions specifically tailored to issues arising in using AI for coding  
- Managing risk arising from GAI coding tools - this includes a mix of technical, operational and administrative safeguards (e.g., usage policies, auditing tools, optimal selection and implementation of tools) 

This presentation is intended for legal and technical teams involved in software development and M&A software due diligence.

Managing Software Risks in the Age of AI-Generated Code

As with all things tech, software development has been in a constant state of evolution since its infancy. Generative AI, however, has the potential to disrupt software development as we know it.
There are significant benefits offered by generative AI, but there are risks as well, including security risks. In its brief history, AI has generated buggy code, taken code from open source repositories without licensing considerations, and generated incorrect code.
In this webinar, you will learn
• What AI is and how it is used in the SDLC
• The ways AI is changing how software is being built
• The risks, drawbacks, and concerns of using AI
• How to benefit from AI while managing risks

How Generative AI is Changing the SDLC

As the popularity of cloud-native applications continues to surge, containers are becoming the preferred option to package and deploy these applications because of the agility and scalability they deliver. According to Gartner, “by 2022, more than 75% of global organizations will be running containerized applications in production.”

The popularity of containers has also attracted the attention of hackers who are constantly looking for new ways to exploit them. Containers expand an organization’s attack surface and increase the risk to the applications they house. A comprehensive approach for container security is required to mitigate the risk to containerized applications and infrastructure.

In this webinar, we’ll outline the essential elements required to secure your container environments, including:
• Understanding what containers are (and aren’t)
• How to look at container security holistically
• The top threats to container landscapes
• Relevant case studies

Container Security Essentials
