We live in a world that depends on embedded software. It’s in the cars we drive, the elevators we use and the planes we travel in. As these systems become increasingly complex, the security and functionality of embedded software systems is becoming integral to software development. However, due to the nature of embedded systems, many traditional testing methods fall short of providing adequate security for them.

Veracode is pleased to announce the availability of a new Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Plugin for VS Code. Our new plugin combines both Veracode Static Analysis (SAST) and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) into a single plugin. This allows developers to quickly scan projects for security weaknesses and risks in both first-party code and third-party libraries.

The automotive industry constantly evolves, particularly in software development. From electronic control units and hardware security modules to advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), the complexity and functionality of automotive software have increased exponentially. This has opened new frontiers in efficiency, safety, and user experience but also introduced significant security threats.
