LDRA releases TBsecure with Carnegie Mellon SEI CERT C secure coding standard

LDRA, a provider of automated software verification, source code analysis and test tools, has released its new TBsecure plug-in complete with the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute CERT C secure coding standard.

According to the company, TBsecure identifies security vulnerabilities and enables implementation of the just released computer emergency response team (CERT) C secure coding standard version 1.0.

LDRA's TBsecure plugs into TBvision, a module within the LDRA tool suite that enables developers to see how the source code performs against security vulnerabilities, fault-detection and adherence to the required quality standards. As its primary role, TBsecure applies the CERT C secure coding rules and relays findings to TBvision, which graphically shows code quality, fault detection and avoidance measures through call graphs, flow graphs and code review reports, said LDRA.

LDRA claims that using the TBsecure plug-in, managers, team workers and individual developers are able to collectively monitor the implementation of security metrics in their applications in an easy-to-read, intuitive format, added LDRA.

Ian Hennell, operations director of LDRA, said: Without proper security technology, individuals and corporations are increasingly vulnerable to malicious code attacks, fraudulent transactions, and theft-of-service opportunities. At LDRA, we focus on assisting in the development of zero-defect software. We are thrilled to be the first company to deliver a CERT C compliant programming checker as we believe this new standard will play a significant role in the development of higher quality systems that are more robust and more resistant to attack.
