Overview

Fortra's Digital Defense Frontline Web Application Scanner (WAS) is an easy-to-use security solution that provides prioritized vulnerability reporting and technical recommendations so your remediation team can tackle the biggest threats, first. Frontline WAS easily runs dynamic web application tests with accurate results, not matter how much your web apps change.

Polyspace Code Prover is a sound static analysis tool that proves the absence of overflow, divide-by-zero, out-of-bounds array access, and certain other run-time errors in C and C++ source code. It produces results without requiring program execution, code instrumentation, or test cases. Polyspace Code Prover uses semantic analysis and abstract interpretation based on formal methods to verify software interprocedural, control, and data flow behavior. You can use it on handwritten code, generated code, or a combination of the two. Each operation is color-coded to indicate whether it is free of run-time errors, proven to fail, unreachable, or unproven.
