Our pedigree: We helped the world embrace open source software safely and securely. We unified disparate technologies to build the first comprehensive application security platform. We defied the assumption that a vendor couldn’t test both embedded software and web apps. We bridged the gap between testing in the cloud and on-prem. And we grew into the largest, most trusted application security testing (AST) provider in the world, recognized as the eight-time Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for AST.

“Since adopting Polaris more broadly, we now catch a majority of fixable issues earlier in the IDE and PR stages instead of after merge, which has reduced remediation time for high-severity findings and cut down on late-stage security work. We’ve been able to expand SAST coverage to most active repos without adding AppSec headcount, including legacy and newer services.”

Coverity® Static Analysis identifies potential security vulnerabilities and defects in application code, enabling organizations with DISA-STIG requirements to track, prioritize, and resolve issues in accordance with these guidelines. Code scans can uncover a wide range of defects that impact DISA-STIG compliance, including race conditions, error handling, and overflows.
Coverity integrates into the development life cycle for software used in airborne systems to identify code defects that could prevent compliance with DO-330 requirements. It provides detailed remediation guidance to help resolve issues that could impact the safety, reliability, and effectiveness of those systems. And the Coverity Qualification Kit ensures that Coverity is configured and operating properly in the end-user build environment as required by DO-178C standards.
Coverity supports AUTOSAR requirements by identifying code quality and security defects and mapping them to the rules of this standard. Code scans can be automated to run on pull requests to uncover issues early in the SDLC, when they’re easiest to resolve. Native reports make it easy to enforce AUTOSAR coding standards, prioritize issues, and provide evidence of compliance.
Coverity static analysis supports MISRA coding standards and can identify relevant defects, assign scores based on predefined policies, and prioritize issues for remediation. Code scans can be triggered on pull requests to uncover issues early in the SDLC, when they’re easiest to resolve. Native reporting provides evidence of compliance to the MISRA coding standards.
Black Duck helps organizations achieve ISO 26262 compliance for developing and testing safety-critical software by providing static analysis for proprietary code, software composition analysis to identify weaknesses in third-party and open source components, and fuzz testing to uncover defects and zero-day vulnerabilities in services and protocols.

Coverity provides code quality and security checkers to find defects that violate the Hyundai Coding Standards for C, C++, and Java. Native reporting helps security teams prioritize results by displaying details of all outstanding violations along with a description of each rule and its severity level, priority, and the number of times that rule has been violated.
VXLAN (Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network) is a network virtualization technology that attempts to address the scalability problem associated with large cloud computing deployments. It uses an encapsulation technique to encapsulate OSI layer 2 Ethernet frames within layer 4 UDP datagrams, using 4789 as the default IANA-assigned destination UDP port number. VXLAN tunnel endpoints (VTEPs) terminate VXLAN tunnels and could be on a physical switch or physical server and could be implemented in software or hardware. The VXLAN Test Suite has been designed to act as a malicious VTEP which sends exceptional requests in VXLAN protocol layers to the tested entity.
| Specification | Title |
|---|---|
| RFC7348 | Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network (VXLAN): A Framework for Overlaying Virtualized Layer 2 Networks over Layer 3 Networks |
| draft-stewart-sctp-pktdrprep-15 | Protocol for determining a network host’s link layer or hardware address when only its Internet Layer (IP) or Network Layer address is known. |
| Tested messages | Specifications |
|---|---|
| VXLAN messages with ICMPv4 Echo Request as payload | RFC7348, RFC777 |
| VXLAN messages with ICMPv6 Echo Request as payload | RFC7348, RFC4443 |
Our comprehensive reports include contextualized logs that detail the protocol path and message sequences, vulnerability mapping to industry standards such as CWE and injection type, and single test cases so you can re-create each issue and verify the fix. You can also generate remediation packages for your suppliers to facilitate secure, collaborative remediation across the supply chain.
