Introduces Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) and Software Vulnerability Alerts (SVA) that meet latest security requirements and offer peace of mind to operators of mission critical networks
Aviat's SSDLC is a structured process to improve cybersecurity for all Aviat products, built with independent 3rd party validation that integrates security at every stage of the software lifecycle, from definition, design, coding, testing and maintenance, to ensure that vulnerabilities are proactively identified and mitigated. Aviat will leverage the latest secure software practices from internationally recognized organizations such as OWASP (Open Worldwide Application Security Project) which ensures consistent vulnerability management, continuous improvement in security posture and ultimately delivers safer, more resilient software solutions.
Software Vulnerability Alert (SVA) is an add-value service that will deliver a proactive notification to Aviat customers of any potential impact of "common vulnerability/exposures" (CVE) that are published by the MITRE Corporation, a non-profit organization that is funded by the US Department of Homeland Security. Aviat will perform nightly scanning of ProVision and ProVision Plus Management software source code using 3rd-party tools and notify SVA subscribed customers within 24 hours of the detection of any major or critical detected CVE, along with the recommended mitigation and/or a software patch.
"At Aviat we take security of our customer's networks extremely seriously," Pete Smith, CEO Aviat Networks said, "We are pleased to implement these new cybersecurity measures to ensure the integrity of our products and software and believe that this new service will provide that extra level of protection and peace of mind for our customers."
Together, Aviat's introduction of SSDLC combined with SVA notifications will provide operators with the confidence and peace of mind that their Aviat management systems are being protected proactively against known cybersecurity threats on an ongoing basis.
