There are several benefits for using Static Analysis Security Testing (SAST) for your software security. However, I can think of at least six challenges to this form of analysis. SAST does not use the actual executable/binary for analysis; it typically uses a representation of your program. Why is this important?

” If we continue to rely on the same assumptions and apply simplified approaches to this complex problem, we only add the risk of adding yet another technique to the mix, forcing onto vendors another tool they must not only add, but also maintain as a part of their larger application security testing program. This is undesirable.

Vulnerability analysis rarely ends with a single assessment. The quality of analysis has thus far been overlooked. Symbolic execution ensures thorough analysis, finding deep defects other solutions miss. However, as application security programs mature, organizations require greater automation for scale.

ED-203A and DO-356A introduce a new term called “refutation”, which is used to describe an independent set of assurance activities beyond typical analysis and requirements verification. Miller in 1990 when his research group provided random inputs to typical UNIX programs to test reliability. What is ED-203A / DO-356A?

Mayhem combines fuzzing with ML techniques such as symbolic execution, a program analysis technique that determines what inputs cause each part of a program to execute. Mayhem is an ML-driven application security solution that can intelligently navigate through functions, generate test castes, and find and prove defects.

These include static analysis software testing and penetration testing and it assumes that security is binary. Fuzz testing is a heavy-weight yet versatile DAST solution that is able to conduct multiple types of testing across the SDLC. This has given rise to the application security space. It’s also proven technology.

Under the Dynamic Analysis class, Mayhem can help with many sections: Section 2.5 states that programming languages, both compiled and interpreted, provide many built-in checks and protections. They can be programmed with inputs, also known as Corpus, that often reveal bugs. recommends creating Black Box tests.

While SAST have their place in the SDLC and offer tremendous benefits, they unfortunately are not the ideal technique for automation and autonomous security testing. What hackers commonly do is look for bad behaviors in programs. Carnegie Mellon has shown in a research project that they found 11,687 bugs in Linux programs.
