United States : Codenomicon Releases the First Security Testing Product for XML.Codenomicon Ltd, a leading vendor of software security testing Security Testing: (The) Process to determine that an IS (Information System) protects data and maintains functionality as intended. The six basic security concepts that need to be covered by security testing are: confidentiality, integrity, authentication, authorisation, solutions, released a new product today for XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. security testing. DEFENSICS for XML is the first commercial product which helps software developers and integrators to find zero-day security problems in XML libraries and applications. Technologies such as .NET, SOAP, VoIP, Web Services, industrial automation (SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) A process control application that collects data from sensors and machines on the shop floor or in remote locations and sends them to a central computer for management and control. ) and even banking infrastructure increasingly utilize XML. The new test system provides an added capability for testing common XML-based protocols and file formats more efficiently and intelligently. Ari Takanen, CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization. See CIO and salary survey. of Codenomicon will be speaking on XML vulnerabilities and highlighting case studies in his talk "Next Generation Fuzzing See fuzz testing. - The Fun of Destructive Software Testing" on September 23, 2009 at 10am during the Hacker Halted Conference at the Miami Hilton Downtown. "With the increasing usage of web applications and social networking sites, the importance of testing them for possible security loop holes and robustness has increased greatly in recent years. Codenomicon`s DEFENSICS helps developers find security issues in their products, before they are exploited. As Codenomicon continues to extend its solution across several platforms and technologies such as LTE (Long Term Evolution) See 3GPP. , they are expected to capture additional market shares, in the early stages of the technology lifecycle," said Srihari Padmanabhan, Research Analyst, Frost & Sullivan. The new advancements in XML fuzzing have led to the discovery of vulnerabilities and defects in important applications that are deployed in business-critical environments. Earlier this year, Codenomicon discovered a multitude of vulnerabilities in both open source and commercial XML implementations. The first set of problems published by CERT-FI consisted of vulnerabilities in open source libraries responsible for parsing See parse. parsing - parser XML data. The company has provided testing services to selected responsible and proactive commercial players who depend on XML and its reliability. Now, with the availability of DEFENSICS for XML, any company can test their own implementations for similar problems. "The launch of DEFENSICS for XML has been very an integral component on our roadmap since January 2009, when we noticed the impact of XML vulnerabilities," said David Chartier, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"Repairing the most critical open source libraries was the first step in releasing a commercial product of this impact in a responsible manner." Copyright : Euclid Infotech Pvt. Ltd.
