Static Analysis, Testing, and Auditing for High-Level Programming Languages

DevSecCon Nigeria is back with a new event!
Static Analysis, Testing, and Auditing for High-Level Programming Languages

Static Analysis Testing (SAT) and auditing are essential for enhancing the security of high-level programming languages by detecting vulnerabilities, enforcing coding standards, and ensuring compliance before code execution. With the increasing adoption of rapid release cycles in modern development environments, incorporating security testing early in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) is crucial for proactive risk mitigation.

This session will explore innovative methods for detecting vulnerabilities in large codebases and applying variant analysis—a technique where a known security vulnerability is used as a starting point to discover similar issues within the code. This approach helps security engineers identify potential vulnerabilities and ensure comprehensive remediation across multiple codebases.
