Updates to LDRA tool suite address software security analysis

Developed to address real-world concerns such as the hacking and takeover of system controls in automobiles, medical devices, unmanned aircraft, Version 10 of the LDRA tool suite adds a new set of static and dynamic analysis capabilities that detect, analyse and help eliminate software vulnerabilities in security-critical embedded applications.

“Recent proven software security breaches, such as the hacking and complete take over of a major automobile maker’s top selling model while it was being driven, not only put lives in danger but have caused significant upheaval in the software industry,” said Ian Hennell, Operations Director, LDRA. “We have put our 40 years of experience into developing a first of its kind dynamic solution that lets product developers find these software vulnerabilities quickly and fix them long before products come to market.”
