As the software landscape grows ever more complex and interconnected, the demand for resilient, high-assurance systems continues to rise, especially within critical national infrastructure and defense. At the recent DARPA Resilient Software Systems Colloquium, a series of panel discussions shed light on how government agencies are not only adopting formal methods but also realizing tangible benefits.
Governments trust memory-safe languages like Ada and Rust — so do we. See why memory safety is essential for secure systems.
In this blog, we discover Fuzz Testing and how GNATFuzz can be used as part of AdaCore’s GNAT Dynamic Analysis Suite.
AdaCore and Lynx Software Technologies have reaffirmed their longstanding technology partnership to support avionics and defense customers developing safety-critical applications with Ada. Both companies will showcase their software solutions at the Army Aviation Mission Solutions Summit (“QuadA”) conference and exposition in Nashville, Tennessee, May 14-16. AdaCore and Lynx solutions are used in hundreds of military and aerospace programs worldwide.
This article unpacks what it means to be Secure by Design, outlining practical measures for integrating security into the software lifecycle. It highlights the critical role of formal methods, particularly the SPARK technology, in delivering on this vision.
What makes our software so vulnerable?The majority of today’s technical systems are largely composed of software. As such, the reliability and security of these systems depend heavily on the reliability and security of their software components. And this is precisely where a major problem lies: increasing connectivity and a large number of known vulnerabilities in commonly used software make our systems highly susceptible to attack.
The March edition of the TIOBE Index shows Ada in the top 20, hitting position 18. This shows a renewed interest in Ada, perhaps due to the increased interest in memory-safe languages and software safety and correctness in general.
