DevOps + True Code = DevSecOps

Development, Security, and Operations or DevSecOps is an approach to culture, automation, and platform design that integrates security as a shared responsibility throughout the entire (secure) software development lifecycle (sSDLC). With True Code you will have a security focused solution for embedded software development to use in continuous integration and daily builds with Static and Dynamic code checks on the entire code base.

Shift to the left

In the past, the role of security was isolated to a security team in the final stage of development. That wasn’t as problematic when development cycles lasted months or even years, but those days are over. Effective DevSecOps ensures rapid and frequent development cycles (sometimes weeks or days). Outdated security practices can undo even the most efficient development projects. Make the shift to the left and integrate security in your daily CI/CD build and discover security issues earlier in the process and save time and repair costs.

Integrate security in the sSDLC

With True Code we integrate security in the (secure) SDLC and make it part of the daily build process for continuous integration. Vulnerabilities are found early in the process and take less time and costs to mitigate. True Code has the experience and knowledge of more than 20 years of the Riscure Lab built in and has a security focus specifically for embedded software and firmware, like checking for Fault Injection vulnerabilities. Unlike other code checkers that only use SAST, we also use fault injection simulation on the target hardware architecture and fuzzing to check for vulnerabilities on runtime (DAST). With our collaboration database we provide clear feedback between security experts and developers to make sure the integration of security is ensured in the entire process and the education of developers is stimulated.

Developers and security specialists colaborate

For integrating security in the SDLC it is important that security analysts and developers can communicate in a clear and easy way. Developers are not security specialist and need clear feedback on the vulnerability issues and how to mitigate. True Code has a database with feedback directly to the code where annotations can be made also for future reference.

Because of its close collaboration with the Riscure Lab, True Code has far fewer false positives than other code checkers. Even false positives must be checked in Triage to see if they are really false and explained why, so fewer false positives results in less time wasted.

By integrating True Code in the daily build you can include security testing in your continuous integration (daily build) and run the automated security test on your complete code base. This will improve the security of the entire process and also offers more peace of mind than a random manual code check that is often performed when automated security testing is not implemented.

The feedback reports of the True Code database also provide an excellent starting point for QA or certification. With the complete code coverage it is easier to identify code slices that need extra attention and the certification can be done much faster.

SAST and DAST in DevSecOps

True Code is the only security code analyzer for embedded software that uses both SAST and DAST to find vulnerabilities. By using True Code in your DevSecOps process you will get a complete coverage of your code base and peace of mind that the code is secure both before and after execution. Research shows that an exploit is based on an average of 3 simple vulnerabilities. By using True Code the risk of an exploit is drastically reduced. Manual code checks are still required but by using True Code focus can shift to the truly important pieces of code.
