HUNTSVILLE –Sentar has been selected to perform a Missile Defense Agency (MDA) SBIR Phase I contract to develop technologies for assessing the risk of integrating software code.
Software from third parties is often used in mission critical systems. While known malicious code will be identified during normal test and evaluation processes, suspicious code is more difficult to accurately identify. The veriScan® software tool (now called KnoRisk) provides a risk assessment of source code based on multiple malware analyses. The results of multiple analysis tools are combined and a risk assessment is generated. The decision support system accepts the software, rejects the software, or recommends further evaluation. The result is a higher degree of confidence in integrated software.
